Best for
A specialist rangefinder binocular - the Geovid BRF range is popular with hunters and long-range shooters who need accurate distance measurement with high-performance optics. 8x56 large-aperture configuration maximises light-gathering for dawn/dusk use. Leica's alpha-brand optics deliver class-leading image quality. A significantly more expensive category than general-purpose binoculars.
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.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
