Very clear, precise, exactly what we were looking for for hunting.

Style: 12x52mm (181179)
I love the binoculars, but not the harness, obviously. It would be a plus if they included a normal strap.

    • Quality at a Price
Style: 12x52mm (181179)
I love these I think the image quality is excellent. Price is not for the week of heart about $300.00 for the 12x52mm. There might be comparable Binoculars out there, but I am good to go with these. I picked Leupold because I have had good experience with their scopes (my first expensive deer rifle 55 years ago had a 3x9 Leupold scope on it, and that was powerful back then). Now for the Nitpicking I don't know big a head some of these people have out there but, I have to fold these in almost all the way to get a single view with both eyes (I know there is some kind of fancy technical term for that, but I don't know it). My poor little wife is kind of Pettit (her head, hands and feet we don't talk about the rest of her) and she can't bring them close enough for her pupilar distance to make it one circle of viewing. I would think just a little more hump in the hinge in the middle would give it a few more millimeters on the PD for smaller faces. ... show more

    • Some minor issues
Style: 12x52mm (181179)
The overall feel of the Leopold HD 12x52 binoculars is good, and I am happy with the product. But there are a few points worth mentioning. Firstly, the lens caps are "attached" to the body with two thin rubber bands. This is not ideal, as the two lens tubes cannot fully close together when the lens cap rubber bands are around the lens tubes – the rubber bands hit up against each other. This makes really only 2-3 mm or two difference, but I have a narrow face and with the 52mm diameter, I need the lens tubes as close together as possible to see a single image. I have bought and used various binoculars (Nikon, Bushnell, Leupold) and in most cases the lens cap attachment is a minor problem. Why not have a simple hinge. Secondly, the eye piece covers are also "unattached", so I have had to cable tie them to the neck strap. There are eye cover attachment loops on the body of each lens, but nothing is provided to attach the eye caps to the binocular body. I suspect that I am meant to attach the eye piece covers to the Leopold carrying pouch that sits on my chest. Problem is, I don’t want to always use the pouch. Thirdly, the pair I bought does not come with a separate neck strap. Leopold's idea is to have this pair attach to the carrying pouch that would sit on my chest. So I am using a Canon neck strap for now. So the eye piece covers and lens covers are attached with cable ties to the Canon neck strap. This works - but I can’t imagine Leupold would be happy with this sort of marketing. So, if you have a narrow face like mine, with a wider lens diameter 52mm or wider, make sure that the two lens bodies can "close up enough" to allow you to see a single image. When the two lens are completely together, I can just make out a feint black shadow - which is not ideal. I understand this is my (face's) fault - but if you have a narrow face, check this out. ... show more

    • Great Binoculars
Style: 12x52mm (181179)
Finally broke down and bought a nice pair of binoculars for hikes and our cruising adventures. Love these Leupold 12x52! The images are so vivid compared to my older Bushnell binoculars. Did a lot of research and determined that these were the one to invest in. Feel great in the hands with a slight tactile surface so as not to slip. Focus rings seems smooth to operate. So far, they have not let me down. The over the shoulder harness strap that's included was okay, but nothing I would use, really. Would be nice if they came with a simple neck strap, but an old camera strap I had worked just fine. I would definitely recommend this binocular. ... show more
