As a fan of binoculars with that little red ball logo on them (Leica, of course), I was quite intrigued by Leica's announcement of a new version of the
Leica Ultravid, known as the
Leica Ultravid HD binocular (HD for high definition), featuring fluorite-ion glass , which Leica says will further improve light transmission and improve color rendition. Knowing, personally, that the current
Leica Ultravid binoculars are no slouch, optically, could the optics on the new
Leica Ultravid HD really be better?
A soon as Joanie gets her hot little hands on the new Ultravid HD, available later this fall, I will report back. Will Joanie be tempted ot buy one, regardless? Well ...
