Classic styling and design make the Rogue™ Series an instant favorite. With a well-balanced body built around a high-performance Porro prism optic system with a lockable focus the Rogue is perfect for extended viewing with no fatigue. The fully multi-coated lenses create a bright crisp image and of course the Rogue Series is rugged and reliable with our trademark waterproofing.

The all-new Rogue series is a great value combining reliable Porro prism performance with a pleasing price. Then appear to have a blue tint. If you do it the other way round the result can be a green tint. The new Leica HD range now reliably combines an optimum degree of image brightness with a constant level of color neutrality. Excellent image quality - even in awkward light conditions Stray or false light can significantly reduce the viewing experience. To eliminate this effectively Leica is taking a great number of steps which in awkward sidelighting and backlighting situations in particular ensure a high-resolution clear image without any reduction in contrast or constraints due to milky fogging. Specially developed software simulation allows stray light to be seen during development stage. Consequently thanks to an optimized housing shape improved light-absorbing paint apertures and stray light traps the construction of the new HD models have been optimized to such a degree that stray light is (almost) no longer of any significance. Because after all you cannot select the position of the sun when you are observing nature. Consistently smooth focusing - whatever the temperature The mechanics for the Ultravid HD focusing have been further refined. As a result focusing is even smoother and remains free of play across the entire range. Optimized material pairings and gliding discs made from extremely tough high-performance plastic are used. In cold conditions the conventional greased focusing mechanisms sometimes only work with difficulty and at higher temperatures they move too freely. Furthermore these focusing mechanisms can feel sticky and at higher temperatures there is even the danger that grease can escape and run on the lens. With the optimized Leica focus these risks have been eliminated.
