Leupold Binoculars

Leupold is issuing a customer alert to purchasers of products, particularly via Internet sales, in regards to bogus Leupold products that are apparently being illegally imported from the People’s Republic of China. These products bear many of the marks and trade dress of current Leupold & Stevens riflescopes making them very hard to distinguish externally from authentic Leupold products.

Binoculars with "independent focus" require the two telescopes to be focused independently by adjusting each eyepiece. This ease of placement helps avoid vignetting, which is a darkened or obscured view that occurs when the light path is partially blocked. The eye of an eyeglass wearer is typically further from the eye piece which necessitates a longer eye relief in order to still see the entire field of view. It is usually expressed in millimeters. Many different abbreviations are used for binoculars, including glasses, binos and bins.
