Birders demand clarity, contrast, brightness, and color fidelity. These Leupold® Pinnacles™ 8x42mm Binoculars in black or natural finish have it all. They are also tough and waterproof, as well as slim, lightweight, and ergonomic. In short, they may just be your new favorite birding binoculars.
Fully multi-coated lenses and phase-coated, silver-enhanced prisms give you a sight picture with exceptional brightness, superb resolution, and color fidelity in all light conditions. With close focus distance, you can focus at distances as short as 6.5 feet, making the Pinnacles ideal for close-in viewing. Built rugged and fully waterproof, they can endure the harshest conditions the outdoors has to offer.
The generous eye relief makes viewing enjoyable and comfortable, even for long periods. Tough, rubber armor coating offers added protection from bumps and spills, as well as improves your grip in wet weather. The interchangeable eyecups enable you to quickly and easily switch between vented, retractable contoured eyecups and twist-up eyecups especially suited for users with glasses. Limited lifetime warranty.
From humble immigrant beginnings, Leupold grew, based on a promise of quality, to become a classic American company. In 1907, Fred Leupold set up a one-man shop at 5th and Oak streets in Portland, Ore., to repair surveying equipment. He was joined by his brother-in-law, Adam Voelpel, and later by inventor John Cyprian Stevens, and the foundations for a century of success were in place.
During Leupold's second half-century, the company has focused heavily on the sports optics business. Leupold's presence in the hunting and shooting market expands, and finally dominates, with innovative optics and features that are now legendary among hunters, shooters, and outdoors enthusiasts. Many of the industry's standards - nitrogen waterproofing, the Duplex® reticle, and more - are Leupold creations.
