Description:

From the Leupold website:

Leupold® Golden Ring® HD™ Binoculars are high-performance optics that feature superior color fidelity, contrast, and resolution, thanks to superior technology including the Leupold exclusive Index Matched Lens System®, HD™ technology and DiamondCoat™ lenses. High-definition, calcium-fluoride lenses and plasma-coated prisms push that performance to the very limits. The clarity, brightness, contrast, and color fidelity are stunning, even to sophisticated binocular users.

Pros:	Just about everything
Cons:	Interpupillary lock doesn't work

With the exception of the dysfunctional interpupillary lock, which I'm not interested in using anyway, this is a whole lot of bino for (relatively) little $. Regularly outshines alpha-class binos in direct comparison.

They're heavy, but for some (including myself) the weight is a "pro" rather than a "con"--I find it makes for a very stable view. Probably not suitable for children or other smaller people.

Finally, for the male birder, you won't find a manlier bino.
