Both German optical brands, Leica and Zeiss have different focuses, Zeiss focuses on experience, and Leica in addition to functionality, collectible value is also a highlight. If Zeiss takes into account the low-end price point in the product line layout, Leica takes the high-end route completely, and the prism structure basically adopts a ridge prism with greater technical difficulty and higher manufacturing cost, even if it is a 20mm small aperture, 8 times magnification Ultravid BR, the price is more than 6800 yuan.
 
Leica has made great achievements in the patented technology related to binoculars, such as the use of DHCTM multi-layer hard coating technology, which coats the surface of the objective lens with 7 to 10 layers of ultra-thin coating, which plays a role in improving light transmittance and anti-scratching; The High Lux-System uses a large number of mechanical structures to reduce diffused light, and the highly reflective mirror coating is composed of 42 layers of extremely thin coating, which increases the reflectivity to more than 99.5%.
 
Leica's performance on outdoor websites is impressive, and Ultravid HD Plus was selected as one of the four best of the best in Bird Watching, tied with Zeiss Victory SF and Swarovski EL; In the sub-range, Leica's Trinovid 42mm is also one of the four High End Econamicals, once again alongside the Swarovski CL Companion and Zeiss Conquest HD.
 
Leica's high-end models are mainly concentrated in the Noctivids and Ultravid series. Among them, the Noctivids series is claimed to be Leica's "highest-performance binoculars", and the prism part is made of the recently developed Schott HT glass, and the anti-reflective coating has been optimized, so that the entire visible spectrum can be transmitted through the telescope with almost no loss, and the chromatic aberration of the image is corrected. At present, the series is not officially sold in China, and needs to be purchased through channels such as the official website or Amazon platform, with prices ranging from 16,000 to 20,000 yuan.
 
In the Ultravid series, Ultravid HD Plus has the most eye-catching performance, and the evaluation results of the outdoor website are outstanding, and it has been selected as one of the four Best of the best binoculars in Bird Watching, along with the Zeiss Victory SF series and Swarovski EL series, with a price of about 20,000 yuan. Ultravid HD Plus has a high image quality that suppresses astigmatism to a minimum, ensuring noticeable sharpness and high color reproduction, and its AQUADURA coating has a similar hydrophobic function as the ZEISS LotuTec lotus coating, preventing a certain degree of scratching or abrasion, even dust or fingerprints that stick to the mirror can be easily disposed of.
 
Ultravid BlackLine and Ultravid Edition Zagato, in addition to practicality, also have a certain collectible value, priced at 19,000 to 33,000 yuan. THE FORMER IS ELEGANTLY SHAPED AND COVERED IN LEATHER, WHILE THE LATTER IS A LIMITED EDITION IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ITALIAN SPORTS CAR MANUFACTURER ZAGATO. In the entry-level style, the more recommended is the Ultravid series of BR, BL, Colorline and SilverLine small-caliber models, the price is between 6800 and 7200 yuan, in the case of similar optical quality, Colorline has six colors to choose from, and it is also matched with a leather case of the same color, which is more eye-catching.
 
The Trinovid series is a second-line product of Leica, which is a simplified version of the performance of the Ultravid series, priced at 4,500 to 10,300 yuan. Trinovid HD is one of the more recommended, it follows the patented HDC and AquaDura lens coating in other high-end models, which can reduce the interference of ambient stray light, and the image is clear from the center to the edge, the body is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, and has been treated with nitrogen, waterproof to a depth of 5 meters, and the multi-function center focusing cylinder does not have a stiff feeling in operation, and has diopter compensation to ensure the comfort of observation.
 
On the whole, Leica has accumulated more than 100 years of experience in the research and development of optical products such as cameras and microscopes, so binoculars have excellent optical quality. However, due to Leica's focus on the high-end market, the price of Noctivids and Ultravid flagship series is more than 10,000 yuan, and the mid-range Trinovid series also starts at about 7,000 yuan.
 
At present, Leica binoculars has opened an official flagship store in Tmall Mall, and the series of models on the shelves are still complete and easy to buy. In addition, Leica has stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Hong Kong and other places, as well as regional distributors, business information can be queried on the official website, and users in need can go to the physical store to experience.
