Leupold Golden Ring HD Zoom Binoculars - LEU65115

Leupold Golden Ring Switch/Power Limited Edition Binoculars feature a precision-machined switch in front of the focus ring that instantly and fully changes the power setting to the object you’re viewing always stays at the center of the visual field. This is no zoom...scan a 7x or 10x, then with a flick, you’re instantly viewing at 12x or 17x. It’s like carrying two binoculars and they’re as easy to use as a light switch.

Switching is easy. Leupold Golden Ring 10/17x42mm binoculars with Switch/Power Technology offer the kind of performance you expect from Golden Ring optics, plus unique features you won’t find in any other binocular. It’s like having two binoculars in one. Comes complete with Leupold’s quick release binocular harness, deluxe neck strap, case, and custom eye and objective covers.

Second Generation Waterproofing with Argon/Krypton Gas Blend
Leupold pioneered the truly waterproof optic, and now, we’ve developed an even more reliable waterproofing method using an Argon/Krypton gas blend that will keep your binoculars fog free for a lifetime of use.

Switch/Power Technology
Leupold’s exclusive Switch/Power Technology is, quite simply, as easy to use as a light switch. Put the binoculars to your eyes, then with your index finger, give the precision-machined switch a flick. You’ve just instantly and completely changed the magnification setting.
What makes this technology so valuable? It’s quick and easy, unlike a zoom. Also, zooming requires you to rotate a lever through continuous magnification settings. This can be disorienting, causing you to lose track of the object you’re viewing. If you’re viewing an object or an animal in heavy cover, you may lose track of it permanently. Switch/Power Technology is so quick, so complete you will never lose sight of what you’re viewing…that object or animal remains at the center of the visual field.
For a practical example, say you’re glassing a field at 10x, to take advantage of the wider field of view. While scanning, you catch sight of a bird, and you’d like to take a closer look for positive identification. Take your index finger to the switch, and give it a firm flick.
Instantly, you’re viewing the bird at 17x. You can see details about him, variations of color, the shape of the beak, and other identifying marks that you couldn’t see as clearly at 10x.
The exclusive technology available only in Leupold Golden Ring binoculars with Switch/Power Technology gives you the benefits of carrying two binoculars in one.
