Worth Looking For

Leica Ultravid HD 7 x 42

Supremely bright and steady, razor sharp to the edges, these wide-angle Leica's are as versatile as they are rugged (they come with a no-questions-asked, you break it, we fix it lifetime guarantee). Our 25-year old pair has survived being dropped from a fast-moving safari vehicle and being dunked by a Galapagos sea lion. These new and improved glasses feature improved eye-cups (they twist up), a magnesium body, and exotic, dirt- and water- repellant AquaDura lens coatings. (STF50, $2100.00)

Birders take note! These rugged, water- and fog-proof binoculars, with features that you'd usually find in Leica or Zeiss, have whopping long eye-relief (19.5 mm, perfect for eyeglass wearers), close focus (8-feet) and, made of polycarbonate, weigh just 22.9 ounces. (STF28, $475.00)
