I got one too last week(trinovid 10x42 hd), leica is expensive, but it opens up a whole new world... It's amazing. So amazing that I'm planning to buy an SL2, just because I'm so in love with this binocular.

you have no idea the amount of hygiene inside leica's factories :)

You have a 40% chance to drop those precious lenses wearing gloves. What's important is that; there should be no finger prints, smudges, etc on the front and back surfaces on the lenses and prisms, and no dust particles, as much as possible inside the instrument on its final assembly. My low-end binocular is very dirty inside, and the lenses are miles away behind compared to this Alpha category binocular.

@@johnc5915 the gloves should be slippery proof, right? Leica, shame on you!

@@jonathanpoon7024 Well, considering that this video was made 8 years ago, not wearing gloves was not a big deal for the company and buyers of their product that time. But time has really changed; in many parts of the world today, we can't buy if we aren't wearing mask and freaking desinfect our hands when entering a store! This is way more stricker than any optics company! Lol.

Yes is DANGER for the people there

I have a very old Leica, it was made in 1955 and it a M-3 model. I found it at a garage sale for 3 dollars

@@anthonysaponaro6318 you want to sell it ??

@@mariumrajah LOL, Cameta Camera on Long Island bought it from me, I went there just to ask them how to open it and he told me he had a collector looking for this exact camera, I wasn;t looking to sell it but he offered me so much I couldn't resist, plus a brand new Canon DSLR Camera. . . I kind of felt like the camera was a little too complicated for me, a beginner so I made the decision to sell

I wrote have I should have wrote had .

I just picked up a Leica 8x42 HD UltraVid I am beyond speechless . I never thought I could see more clearly than with my own eys, somehow when I look through those Binos the clarity is like double ??

Instead just save up money over the long term. Good things are worth the wait. Open up a savings account that you cannot easily tough and put away $10 per week and after a few years you can have one. A Zeiss Conquest can be had for as low as about $800 and they are top notch as well. $10 per week and in a year and a half you could have one.

*If it cost 100€ then it is Crap, you get what you pay for !*

Which Is why I was more than happy to sink the 4000 plus quid into the camera I bought recently. Well worth the price.

Did you not like the smile.

Try the volume control on your computer - or ask your parents to alter it for you.

@@Russell-1 - There is nothing you can say that can undo that horrible music.

Actually I loved the music but I have an idea, Just turn it down or off. Someone should be able to help and show you how to do that.

@@travis8665 - I don’t think that you actually have an idea of your own. You have Russel’s idea. Repeating someone else’s comment is so lame, it would be laughable if it weren’t so profoundly sad.

Ok tree hugger

Very overpriced. It's a mugs brand really.

Leica lickers.

Benswan187 dear americans if you have no brain then please shut up! -

Overpriced? The 50mm f0.95 is the fastest lens available to the public on the planet. Of course you pay 10K for it.

@@jas_bataille There is 1.0 Notilux out there somewhere!

A calendar? That means nothing

+Juego Perfecto LOL

The menu options at 0:29 say "Datei Bearbeiten Werkzeuge Fenster Hilfe" - German The label on the bottle at 1:04 says "Aceton" - German The one at 2:21 says "Acetona" - Portuguese The label at 4:13 says "Kammer Adresse" - German again 4:24 "Aceton" -German 4:28 "Alcohol" - English probably This is so weird... XD

So, one or some employees come form Portugal and they may get some their stock of acetone might come from Portugal... My God I must be Sherlock Holmes! Jesus imagine you guys walking into a house where you see english and a foreign langage. You must be tripping and believe you're not in your country anymore, or something... I mean common guys. You're allowed to work for Leica no matter your origin, to have a calendar in the langage you want, and I don't think even Leica care that much about what breed acetone they're using.

Well some products are made in Portugal and some are made in Wetzlar - the quality is the same since they are in Portugal for over 40years... . The ultravid and Noctovid binoculars are made in Germany. The Trinovid and Geovid are made in Portugal. And btw. you don’t have to watch what the background says... . Leica is very Open about Theke Production plant and very proud of their Portugal Factory. They are doing a great job there ... .and in terms of Electronics they are especially good!

Well,I've had an opportunity to try Leitz binocular 7x42 that was made in late '60s.It's trully spectacular how clean and sharp view is in such old technology.No wonder why today's model costs about 2000 euros.

Mogge, both were aimed heart-shots. I'm assuming this was done for two reasons: less destruction of edible meat, and preservation of a trophy mount. Higher by 10-15 cm, and it would be a lingering death lung shot. I prefer to lose meat, and spine them at the shoulder, death is in seconds.

Shows how much you know about hunting. The shots were good, Ian is a phenomenal shot. The heart sits very low on deer and you're guaranteed to hit the lungs anyways. Bonus, if you do have to track them, a low chest shot means the body cavity doesn't need to fill up as much. I prefer neck shots because they've all been instant knock downs, but there are mount-worthy bucks where I hunt.
