Frequently asked questions
What does 'BRF' mean?
BRF = Binocular Range Finder - Leica's designation for their rangefinder binocular line, combining a laser rangefinder with their optical binoculars. Press a button, the rangefinder fires a laser and measures the distance to a target, displaying it in the binocular's field of view.
Why 56mm objectives?
56mm is large for binoculars - gathers more light than 42mm for dramatically brighter images in low light (dawn, dusk, overcast). The trade-off is weight (these are 1.26kg) and size. Well-suited to hunting, deer-stalking and low-light nature use.
