An absolutely superb binocular in perfect functioning condition.

I'm the original owner, and purchased the binoculars NIB (these were not demos).

Included are the original box (serial matching to binocular), packaging, pamphlets, and all accessories (padded case, objective / ocular covers, and padded neck strap).

Glass is absolutely pristine, no scratches, blemishes, anything.

The glass has been absolutely babied by me and cleaned VERY sparingly and according to accepted photographic practice (an Air-Brush, Photo Microfiber Cloth, and Zeiss Lens Cleaning Solution - no dirty shirt-ends, kleenex, etc., EVER, not even once).

Yeah, I'm anal about optics.

Focus is smooth, bridge is VERY tight.

Body has the normal "patina" (wear) you would expect from handling, but nothing that would affect performance, optically or mechanically.

There is a minor "dent" on the top of the bridge (can be seen in several photos) which happened when I leaned forward at a spotting scope and the binocs bumped the tripod. In no way has it compromised the binoculars, and it happened when they were quite new. It's completely cosmetic

Right click on images for larger size.

$850 shipped/insured USPS w/ signature required to CONUS.

First Public "I'll Take It" followed up promptly with your PM gets them.

EXCEPT. These are on ebay as well... a bid on ebay trumps all else. However, I'll take them off ebay if anyone wants them here first. They'll certainly sell on ebay, just a matter of time. However, I'd prefer they go here.


YOU (not me) need to PM me for shipment/payment details.

PayPal "gift" accepted.

Clear enough? smile

If I didn't already have Zeiss Victory 8x32 I'd send a PM. I do have Ultravid 8x20 compacts - Leica Ultarvis are awesome.

Agreed... Only reason these are going is I picked up an 8x32 HD Ultravid... An 8x20 is next on my list!

Thanks Lonny. They will.

Frankly, had I not gotten such a great deal on an 8x32 HD I'd not be selling the BR's. They're simply an outstanding bin and the Leica is my favorite of the 8x32 variety.

I can tell little to no difference between the BR and HD, except possibly, in low light. Then it's marginally different. Very marginally different.

For me and my eyes, the Leica is tops, and I've owned and compared them to the Swaro 8x30 SLC, EL and Zeiss FL.

I hear great things about the Swaro 8x32 SV, and that it doesn't have nearly the rolling ball effect that I've found with the 42mm versions, but those are 2K!

And I darned well know nothing on the bin market is built like Leica.
