Leupold 8x30 Yosemite Binoculars
The Leupold 8x 30mm Yosemite™ Binoculars are an ideal optic for everyone in the family. Leupold realized that full-size binoculars can be too large and too powerful for many people especially younger users taking away from their outdoor experience. These binoculars are specifically designed to meet everyone's needs from the most inexperienced or youthful user to experienced adults and still provide the kind of optical performance demanded by serious birding enthusiasts. Small lightweight and comfortable it fits hands of all sizes from children to adults.The 8x magnification gives you an ideal combination of power and field of view and forgiving eye relief another must for novice users. It makes extended viewing comfortable even while wearing glasses. Multi-coated optics ensure a sharp bright sight picture with the contrast and color fidelity you need to make positive identifications.Rugged and absolutely waterproof these are serious outdoor optics and completely field ready. Durable rubber armor coating - available in black natural or red - these binoculars are at home in the woods at the game or anywhere you need serious outdoor optics. Limited lifetime warranty.From humble immigrant beginnings Leupold grew based on a promise of quality to become a classic American company. In 1907 Fred Leupold set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak streets in Portland Ore. to repair surveying equipment. He was joined by his brother-in-law Adam Voelpel and later by inventor John Cyprian Stevens and the foundations for a century of success were in place.During Leupold's second half-century the company has focund corrects aberration (imaging errors) significantly better. So as a result the viewing experience is more natural and impressive than it has ever been before. Imitating nature : Leica AquaDuraTM The models of binocular and spotting scopes with the new HD lenses are now fitted with Leica AquaDuraTM a hydrophobic coating which with its water and dirtrepelling properties ensures clear visibility even in poor weather conditions. As with the leaves of the lotus plant droplets of rain simply roll off the lens and fingerprints and dirt particles are much easier to remove. In addition thanks to its increased abrasion resistance Leica AquaDuraTM will protect your valuable lenses from damage even more effectively. Increased light transmission As a result of constant development of antireflex coating and reflective layer on the prisms it has been possible to increase the previously already very high level of transmission on all HD models by at least a further 3 %. Especially in poor lighting conditions such as twilight image brightness is crucial. If you then optimize the coating especially for its suitability at nighttime with conventional lenses this is then only at the expense of color neutrality which is a drawback for daytime viewing - the image can 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.
