Den0's Review of Leica 8 x 42 BN Binoculars
18th Apr 2004
Overall Rating
- Value for money
Very good light transmission, well-constructed, waterproof, gas-filled, All-round top-class binocular.
Bad Points
No hard case for this price is a let down. Arrogant Kraut manufacturer - don't bother writing to them - they are too aloof to answer.
General Comments
The Leica 8 x 42 BNs are first class binoculars - you probably won't find better. I can't fault the item other than having a cheap case and for nearly £700.00 I think they deserve to be protected properly.
However, be careful where you purchase them - Leica don't choose their retailers with much care - Ace Optics at Bath were not much good. Leica just rely on their good name to sell the product and you don't get good specialist advice from this retailer. If you try to contact Leica they don't bother to reply.
