Leica Duovid 8 + 12 x 42 Binoculars

These handy Duovids offer a double magnification change. 12x magnification is unique in a premium 42 mm binocular, allowing the user to observe the finest nuances of any image.

The compact 42 mm Duovid offers both 8x magnification, with a wide field of view and a shake-free image, as well as a 12x magnification, ideal for discerning additional detail. As with the 50 mm model, the patented eyepieces with two click stops provide optimum eye relief and can be adapted to the needs of the viewer. Changing magnification is done separately for both tubes by turning the two rings. Automatic Diopter Compensation ( ADC ), the diopter value you set is retained even when changing magnification.

The supreme twilight performance of the 12x magnification allows for detial recognition in early twilight. As darkness sets, the 8x magnification is preferred with its greater image brightness and increased depth of field.

Available colors and materials: The Duovid 8 + 12 x 42 is offered in black rubber coating.
