Leupold BX-2 Alpine Binocular

Habe das Glas seit einem Monat in Gebrauch. Für diese Preisklasse sehr gute optische Leistung. Nicht mit High End Gläsern aber mit durchaus teureren Gläsern vergleichbar. Gute Dämmerungsleistung. Klares Bild auch in Gegenlichtsituation. Sehr handlich. Drehaugenmuscheln etwas klapprig. Fahren sich beim Tragen des Glases teilweise ungewollt ein. Keine zu große Tiefenschärfe des Bildes. Daher entsprechendes Fokussieren erforderlich. Insgesamt sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Molto nitido, anche al crepuscolo. Usato per birdwatching e altro.

These binoculars are excellent value for money. The body is waterproof and solidly constructed, yet without making them too heavy. The optics aren't perfect, but certainly good enough for bird-watching, hunting and use on a boat. The eyepieces have built-in exit pupil adjustment for folks with glasses. The adjustment and focus is easily achieved. If you're looking for a good, solid pair of binoculars, but don't want to fork out thousands of $ for bragging rights, these are an excellent choice. I'm very happy...unlike the Olympus pair that were faulty right out of the box.

I bought these binoculars to have a loaner pair for friends. My personal binoculars are Zeiss conquest HD 8 x 42, and Zeiss victory 8x25. These leupolds do not match the clarity or brightness of my Zeiss, but they are very clear and nice binoculars. They feel good in the hand, the focus knob works smoothly, and the view is very good. My Zeiss are definitely nicer binoculars, but I would not feel disadvantaged at all, in a hunting scenario, with these Leupolds. I was going to buy the entry level Zeiss Terra 8 x 42, but it's hard to find anybody online who thinks the Terra's are worth double the price of these Alpines. I recommend that you look up the binocular testing on allbinos.com. It's really good information that is more than just opinion. The alpines come with a binocular harness/case, instead of a neck strap, which is a joke in my opinion. I would need a second person to help, in order to get that binocular harness rigged up. I took the harness off, and I will keep the binoculars in the case. I purchased a nice neck strap on Amazon, and I'm still $175 ahead of buying the Zeiss Terra......... I originally purchased the Vortex raptor binoculars,(as loaners) and they were horrible, very little different than taping together two toilet paper tubes. The Raptors would be good for a small child to play with, but that's about it. I don't think you can get decent binoculars for $100, but these Leupolds prove that you can get a decent pair at the $200 price point. if these Alpines are a first purchase, or an upgrade for you, you will be thrilled with them.

Excellent design, nicely made
