New Leica binoculars? (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter nightswift
- Start date
the Ultravid HDs are fairly recent so I very much doubt there will be a new model for some time.

Yes, and I recall that Leica spent a long time engineering the HDs, so I would expect no rush.

Thank you for the input chaps. How long ago were the ultravids released?

Unlike Zeiss and Swarovski, Leica doesn't seem interested in competing in the second tier market where they could successfully compete since there is room to grow in that segment.
Or they could bring out a second line of bins at the alpha level like Swaro did with the SLC-HD, but I don't see that happening either. Swaro already had two lines of bins, the SLC-HD was an upgrade.
The alpha company to watch is Zeiss. After running that opinion poll about what users would like to see next and discounting their green armor FLs, they may have something new in the works.
