Catalog description

Leica 8x42 BN Black Binoculars, part number LCI009, is a discontinued product from the 2007–2011 catalog. It was last listed at $1234.95, up from a low of $1168.00.

Leica Trinovid 42mm Series The highest magnification for binoculars in the 42 mm Ultravid series. The newly designed eyepiece cup provides an especially comfortable eye position. This is especially noticeable in improved steadiness when viewing over long distances.

They are almost as compact as a 32 mm and nearly as high-aperture as a 50mm binocular. There is not even a 10% difference between the 8 x 42 and 8 x 50 in calculated twilight performance.

The new ergonomics for relaxed handling - the back-sided formed thumb support of the 50 mm and 42 mm BR models ensure that the binoculars fit in your hands without shaking or slipping. The large central focusing device enables natural handling and fatigue-free operation.

A large field of view - sharp from edge to edge - in combination with very high image brightness and greater steadiness sets this professional instrument apart.

All 42 mm models of the BR series are offered in shock-absorbing rubber coating in green or in black. The outstanding feature of these binoculars is the high 10x magnification factor. This means that with the LEICA TRINOVID 42mm SERIES you are ideally equipped for observation from a distance.
