High-definition, calcium-fluoride lenses completely supercharged the performance of our Golden Ring spotting scopes, and now they're available in Leupold's Golden Ring binoculars. These high-performance
optics already feature unsurpassed color fidelity, contrast, and resolution, thanks to superior
technology including the Leupold exclusive Index Matched Lens System. Now, HD technology and new DiamondCoat lenses push that performance to the very limits...the vividness of the color and the absolute clarity is stunning even to the most sophisticated and serious optics users. Golden Ring binoculars with HD technology prove that the only thing better than a Leupold is...another Leupold.

I'm sure they're decent binoculars, but unfortunately Leupold is putting a lot more into advertising and promotion these days than into product development and production. That's unfortunate because there ARE some strides to be made in binocular design. Too bad this model doesn't do anything except expand the world of advertising hyperbole.

I wouldn't beleive the hype until I saw through them.......................DJ
