Description

See life in high-definition. Leupold® Golden Ring® 8x 42mm HD Binoculars offer optical performance that's stunning even to the most sophisticated binoculars users. With calcium-fluoride, high-definition lenses, their performance is supercharged with absolute clarity. Leupold Golden Ring HD binoculars feature superb resolution and performance with optimal light management thanks to Leupold's exclusive Index Matched Lens System®.


Leupold's DiamondCoat™ on exterior lens surfaces provides outstanding scratch resistance. Plasma-coated prisms work with the lens system to maximize light transmission for supreme clarity, contrast, and color fidelity. The interpupillary distance-lock feature locks in the distance between your eyes, so no adjustments are necessary during use and you can easily use your binoculars one-handed. Finally, the second-generation argon/krypton waterproofing is guaranteed for life.


These high-definition binoculars also feature eyecups that can be twisted up or down to provide proper eye relief for their use with or without eyeglasses. Leupold's signature brown armor coating allows you to use these binoculars in the most rugged environments. Full lifetime guarantee.


From humble immigrant beginnings, Leupold grew, based on a promise of quality, to become a classic American company. In 1907, Fred Leupold set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak streets in Portland, Ore., to repair surveying equipment. He was joined by his brother-in-law, Adam Voelpel, and later by inventor John Cyprian Stevens, and the foundations for a century of success were in place.


During Leupold's second half-century, the company has focused heavily on the sports optics business. Leupold's presence in the hunting and shooting market expands, and finally dominates, with innovative optics and features that are now legendary among hunters, shooters, and outdoors enthusiasts. Many of the industry's standards - nitrogen waterproofing, the Duplex® reticle, and more - are Leupold creations.

have a pair of pentax dcf sp and clestron's. The optics are superior. A little on the heavy side,but it seems to stablize them.

Comments about Leupold 8x42 Golden Ring HD Binoculars:

Astoundingly clear and crisp images easily rivaling binoculars costing $1500 more. Suberb focus (just the right tension with no backlash) and bulletproof construction. Designed and made in Oregon, these glasses are amazing. Only the weight (33oz)prevents a 5 star rating for all day birders and hunters.

Comments about Leupold 8x42 Golden Ring HD Binoculars:

Butter smooth (and close) focus and world class image quality make this binocular an alpha class contender. Build quality is also stellar and the warranty is unmatched, but the 33oz weight is truly daunting. If used from a stationary location (deer blind, grandstand seat, etc) the weight actually improves steadiness. Walking around with these things on a strap around your neck is another matter altogether. On balance, the plusses greatly outweigh (no pun intended) the minuses.

    Comments about Leupold 8x42 Golden Ring HD Binoculars:

    I plan to use these primarily for hunting. My husband liked them so much he got himself a pair. They have sharp and crisp eye relief. I had done a little research and decided on the exact binocular I wanted and Hayneedle provided by far the best price.

    I was pleased with not only the product but the fast and easy way Hayneedle conducts business.

    Comments about Leupold 8x42 Golden Ring HD Binoculars:

    As a serious bird watcher I'm interested in quality optics which fit my limited budget. These Leupold fit that bill nicely. In the "bang for the buck" column, you can't get much better. The light gathering is good and color representation is of high quality.

    Glass quality is excellent, construction is sturdy, and it fits well in the hand. While some may balk at the weight, I actually like having some heft in my hand when viewing birds. It acts as a stabilizing effect.

    Bottom line: You can spend over two grand for the high end stuff from Swarovski, Zeiss, or Leica, but in that under-$1,000 category, I'd seriously give the Leupold 8 x 42 Gold Ring HDs a look. A "Best Buy" in my opinion.
