Leica Duovid 10+15x50 Details

  • Duovids are the only “zoom binoculars” of the premium class manufacturer
  • Leica Duovid binoculars can be used in two different magnifications that are easy to switch
  • Their optical performance is outstanding – Leica used only the best coatings for lenses to assure vivid colors, high-resolution and true-to-life image
  • Wonderful design and build quality
  • Useful for hunting in difficult, unpredictable conditions

Introduction

In Duovid series there are two models, 8+12x42 and 10+15x50 and these two are the only zoom binoculars with variable magnification produced by the premium class manufacturer. Leica introduced them in 2001.

About the Duovid series

Often, zoom binoculars are quite demanding to make and have several problems with synchronization of the focusing system. Leica managed to solve this problem simply by allowing only two possible magnifications on the Duovid binoculars and not a continuous magnification range. Simply put, the binoculars can be used with 8x (10x) or 12x (15x) magnification and all that can be seen in between is unclear and blurred. Set your diopter value (ADC Automatic diopter) and switch between the two magnifications. When switching, the image remains in focus so re-focusing will not be needed.

Usually, zoom binoculars are known for being of lower quality and bulky, but Leica Duovid impresses with its compactness and excellent optical performance. There should be no doubt about the quality of the product when buying one of these, since they are Fully Multicoated and have Roof prisms with phase-correction coatings P40, HDC coating (Highly Durable Coating) for increased resistance of external lens surfaces and HighLux-System HLS™ for the ultimate image brightness, vivid colors and a high-contrast. The field of view is wide and the optical performance given by these binoculars is unique and versatile at the same time.

Leica Duovid binoculars are solidly made, but very elegant and classic-looking, with a smooth, ergonomically shaped armoring. They are completely sealed and filled with nitrogen gas for water and fog resistance. Duovid binoculars have multi-position eye-cups offering 3 click-stops.

Since Zoom binoculars are very rare, they are also less-known and therefore less popular among binoculars enthusiasts and other optical device users.

All Duovid models are made in Germany.

About the model 10+15x50

This model offers switch-over magnification from 10x to 15x42. The binoculars are a bit difficult to hold steady by hand so it is recommended to mount them on a tripod for easier observation. 10x magnification is great for scanning animals/objects and 15x for detailed observation and species identification. They are a perfect choice for observing across large distances and in open country.

  • Good for birdwatchers and hunters, great for observing in large open areas
  • Two magnifications without the need of re-focusing when switching
  • Elegant ergonomic shape, comfortable
  • Premium optics, patented Roof/Schmidt-Pechan prisms, wide field of view
  • Magnesium chassis, rubberized, high-quality internal mechanics
  • Waterproof, shockproof, nitrogen purged, HDC lens coatings
  • 10 years of warranty
