Leica is one of the best-known brands as far as optical devices are concerned, the company producing, over time, everything from photo cameras to microscope lenses. So, it's actually no wonder that they've also got quite a solid lineup of binoculars, including here the model you'll read about as follows, namely the Leica Ultravid BR 20.



The Leica Ultravid BR 20 Binoculars feature a rugged black rubber armor, which distinguishes it from the BL version, an almost identical, yet all-leather member of the Ultravid series. However, the optical components are equally impressive, since we're dealing with an 8x magnification level, a field of view of 341 ft. at 1000 yards (113 meters at 1000 meters) and an angular field of view of 6.5 degrees.



They are perfect to take along when traveling in the mountains, or for simple birdwatching in the yard. The BR 20 integrates the HighLux System technology, which means that the binoculars feature highly reflective mirror coating on the prism surfaces, multi-layer lens coating with Leica HDC and an optimized optical and mechanical design.



They are quite easy to be handled on just about any type of weather. The focusing option is easily enabled from a large focus wheel and the “single button” adjustment of the diopter. The pop-up eyecups adapt to the needs of all the eyeglass wearers to give the most pleasant images ever.



And when you’re done using them, you just have to fold down the barrels for easier carriage in any purse or pocket. You don’t have to worry using these binoculars on bad weather, since the resistant casing allows the owner to perform outdoor observing on rain or snow.



The Leica Ultravid BR 20 Binoculars sell for around 700 US dollars, which is not that bad a price tag, after all, given the magnification features these things can provide.
