Leica Ultravid HD-Plus 8x32 Overview

Featuring coffee-bean brown calf leather armoring and titanium-colored anodizing at the objectives, Leica's 8x32 Ultravid HD-Plus Special Edition Binoculars deliver bright and clear high-contrast images with exceptional style. The combination of a moderate 8x magnification and wide 62° apparent angle of view produces an immersive viewing experience that lends itself to long observation sessions.

Leica employs specially formulated SCHOTT HT glass for increased light transmission, high color fidelity, and quality performance in low light. The roof prisms feature phase correction coatings to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration for enhanced color rendition and increased contrast.

The 8x32 Ultravid HD's chassis is made from lightweight magnesium alloy with a high-tensile, titanium center-hinge axle. The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled for fog resistance and sealed to make the binoculars submersible to 16 feet.

Everything I was hoping for

So much brighter and detailed than earlier binoculars

Worth The Money

I own 10x42 Trinovid, 8x20 Ultravid and now 8x32 Ultravid. The small guys are fantastic for light carry/travel. The big guys are good, but heavy for extended carry. I was looking for a tweener and these fit the bill. I really do not feel that I am sacrificing with the smaller lens system. These resolve brighter, sharper, and more vivid than my Trins. They handle color distortion better. Nice weight for extended carry. You really do pay more for that extra 10% better in all brands, with the Trinovid line being a good base for quality. Leica have a fantastic warranty and great build quality. You are buying durability, repairability, and capability. For me, along with great B&H pricing, it was worth the extra cost. This model will get probably 80% of my use. Compared to my Trins, they went deep into the evening before they lost image. Very impressive. The Trins are great for a larger size image and sheer depth. The optical quality out of my little 8x20's are super impressive. Ultravid is worth the bump if you have the funds and use your binoculars on a frequent basis. For all brands, if you rarely use your binoculars, cheaper is better. The quality really shows up in use and environmental challenges. The money shows up. All three have a home and a place and I am glad I have all three. If you buy Leica and find it is not for you, they are easy to move on for little or no loss. Transferrable warranty is solid. I imagine they offer such a warranty because the build is so good, the claims ratio is most likely very small. I am very happy with my purchase. Others have expressed additional attributes and I do not need to repeat more of the same.
