The Leica Ultravid 8x42 HD-Plus Binoculars offer exceptional optical performance, perfect for those who demand both precision and durability. Featuring a magnification of 8x and a front lens diameter of 42mm, these binoculars deliver stunning clarity, making every detail visible with remarkable sharpness and brilliance. The fluoride lenses, combined with the HDC coating and Leica AquaDura protection, ensure outstanding colour fidelity, brightness, and contrast while minimising stray light for optimal viewing.

With an exit pupil of 5.2mm and a twilight factor of 18.3, the Ultravid 8x42 HD-Plus excels in low-light conditions, making it ideal for dawn and dusk observations. The field of view is 130m at 1,000m (389ft at 1,000yds), allowing you to take in a wide area, while the close focusing distance of approximately 3m (9.8ft) brings you closer to your subject.

The internal focusing system, operated via a central focusing device, ensures quick and accurate adjustments, taking less than two full turns from close-up to infinity. The binoculars also feature automatic diopter compensation (ADC) and are adjustable for eye relief, making them comfortable for those who wear glasses. The interpupillary distance is adjustable from 55mm to 75mm, further enhancing user comfort.  

Built to withstand all conditions, the Ultravid 8x42 HD-Plus is made from a lightweight yet robust die-cast magnesium housing, nitrogen-filled to prevent fogging, and watertight up to 5m (16.5ft). Whether you're hiking in the mountains or exploring marine environments, these binoculars are ready for any adventure. Their compact dimensions (121 x 142 x 67mm) and weight of 790g (27.9oz) make them both portable and durable, ensuring they'll be your trusted companion for years to come.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Chloe B. ★★★★★

I was a bit worried about the weight, but the magnesium housing keeps them surprisingly light for extended birding trips. The 8x magnification is just right for scanning treetops without any shake, and the clarity through the HD-Plus lenses makes every detail pop.

Robert B. ★★★★★

Took these out for a morning of birding and the 8x magnification hits a sweet spot—steady enough to hold by hand, yet the HD-Plus glass lets in so much light that even in early shadows, feather detail just pops. Focus wheel moves with a precise, dampened feel that makes quick adjustments effortless.

William I. ★★★★★

The image quality is just incredible, even in low light at dawn, and the eyecups twist up smoothly for someone who wears glasses. I've used these for birding every weekend since they arrived.
