Leica builds for naturalists and for hunters in different ways. Choose yours, and the page follows.

Experience Nature

Enhance the World Around You

See things differently.

The flash of a warbler in the canopy. A whale breaching on the horizon. The texture of a hawk's feathers at a hundred yards. Leica nature optics bring out colour, depth and detail you would otherwise walk past, in a view so natural you forget the glass is there.

Buyer's Guide

How to Read 8x42

Four numbers tell you most of what a binocular will do.

Every Leica binocular, scope and rangefinder is described by the same few numbers. Once you can read them, a spec sheet becomes a quick answer to where and when a model will shine.

Magnification × objective. 8x42 means the view is eight times closer, through front lenses 42 mm across. More magnification brings more reach but a narrower view, and it shows more hand shake.
Exit pupil. The objective divided by the magnification: 42 ÷ 8 = 5.25 mm. The larger the exit pupil, the brighter the image at dawn and dusk. The 7 mm of an 8x56 reaches into deep twilight.
Twilight factor. The square root of magnification × objective, as Leica prints it on every data sheet. The higher the number, the more detail you can make out in low light: 18.3 for an 8x42, 20.5 for a 10x42.
Field of view. How wide a scene you see, given as feet at 1,000 yards. Lower magnification means a wider view, which makes it easier to find a bird and follow it.

Choosing a Size

8x32, 8x42 or 10x42?

The same line comes in several sizes. The exit pupil and twilight factor follow from the two numbers.

Configuration	8x32	Most versatile 8x42	10x42	8x56	Compact 8x25
Exit pupil	4.0 mm	5.25 mm	4.2 mm	7.0 mm	3.1 mm
Twilight factor	16.0	18.3	20.5	21.2	14.1
Size & weight	Light, travel size	Full size	Full size	Large and heavy	Pocket size
Best for	Hiking and travel	Birding and all-round use	Open country and hunting	Deep dusk and night	Daylight, concerts, travel

Exit pupil = objective ÷ magnification. Twilight factor = √(magnification × objective).

Hunting

Precision You Can Rely On

For those who seek clarity, accept responsibility and value precision.

An unforgettable adventure comes down to a single moment, and it demands equipment that does not fail. Leica hunting optics are built for precision, reliability and durability: bright glass at first and last light, a range you can trust, ballistics you can act on, and heat where there is no light at all.
