The Duovid class : Two binoculars in one
The Leica Duovid 8 +12 x 42 and 10 +15 x 50 are the only premium performance binoculars with two magnifications. No matter what the situation, whether it is over long distances or during critical lowlight conditions, the Leica Duovid adapts to it perfectly. The lower magnification (8 x with the 42 Duovid or 10 x with the 50) allows for shake-free viewing and a large field of view. By switching to the higher magnification (12 x or 15 x respectively) one achieves greater detail recognition. In contrast to monocular add-on power boosters, a binocular booster is already integrated in the Duovid –lightweight, easy to operate and with a large field of view. Both models are well balanced and feature an outstanding ergonomic design, thereby allowing for virtually shake-free viewing, even at high magnification. Other technical innovations, such as the Leica HighLux-System HLS™ and the Automatic Diopter Compensation ADC™ when switching between powers, make the Duovid a unique and versatile instrument.

Leica Duovid 10 + 15 x 50: This Duovid is a high performance binocular that, with a flick of the wrist, becomes a binocular-spotting scope. The 10 x magnification allows for shake-free viewing and a larger field of view. By switching to 15 x one achieves a level of detail recognition previously found only in spotting scopes. Due to its high level of optical performance, the 50 mm Duovid is also well suited for astronomy - it comes delivered with a tripod adapter to provide added stability. The ergonomic design and the soft-touch rubber armoring (available in black or green) allow for a secure and shake free handling of the binocular, even while wearing gloves.

The Leica Duovid is the first high-end binocular worldwide that features a magnification rate that can be switched from 10x to 15x. That enables the binocular to be tailored to diverse observation situations. The lower magnification provides you with a good then get really close to your subject and examine fine details - and that with astounding sharpness and colour fidelity.
