     to change hands again? The race is long. Twenty miles. This is the moment the             wide 389 ft /130 m field of view
     contenders must prove themselves. Which has the best design? Which has the

     Whatever outdoor activity you undertake, you can count on the Silverline 8 x 42
     and 10 x 42 binoculars. They are not only robust, they are also ideal for use in
     conditions of low visibility and poor light. Thanks to their exceptional image
     brightness, these high-end binoculars let you detect an approaching storm
     front, for example, far on the horizon. So you can react instantly.

     Their compact housing contains remarkably precise technology. The large focus
     wheel is highly practical and easy to use. Ergonomically designed to sit com-
     fortably in your hand, it lets you set the focus quickly and accurately in every      LEICA SILVERLINE 10 x 42
     situation. With their short focusing range – a little more than one rotation of the
     focus wheel – Silverline binoculars can be precisely focused in seconds.              The essential details

     Leica Cameras.
     LEICA S2
     With the Leica S2, Leica has created a new benchmark for professional digital
     photography. The Leica S System breaks down the barriers between 35 mm and
     medium-format photography. For the first time, the S2 combines the handling and size
     of a 35-mm camera with image quality that sets new standards in medium-format
     photography – to deliver supreme image quality and maximum creative potential.

     LEICA M9
     The latest landmark in the professional Leica rangefinder system. The Leica M9 offers the
     unmatched combination of a high-performance full-format 24 x 36 mm sensor with rangefinder
     technology refined and optimised over more than half a century. It is a digital system camera
     placed at the absolute zenith of modern technology, delivering uncompromising image quality
     to satisfy the demands of the most sophisticated creative photographers.

     LEICA X1
     This elegant member of the Leica camera family is reminiscent of the classic M system –
     both in design and performance. Equipped with a CMOS sensor equal in size to that of many
     DSLR cameras, and one of the best Leica lenses, the X1 fears no comparison with its larger
     stablemates in terms of image quality. As an option to its manual functions, it provides auto-
     matic features such as autofocus, making it a convenient companion for every discerning
     camera user.

     LEICA D -LUX 5
     The Leica D-Lux 5 is the ideal camera when you’re open to the inspiration of extraordinary
     images. Compact, intuitively easy to use and equipped with a high speed Leica Summicron lens
     that boasts a focusing range of 24-90 mm, it is an ideal all-round performer: from architectural
     studies to available-light photography. Its manual controls and wide range of accessories give
     you even greater creative freedom: for inspiring photographs with outstanding image quality.

     LEICA V-LUX 2
     The Leica V-Lux 2 is the perfect companion for globetrotters who want to see more of the
     world. It offers excellent performance in a compact format. Its super-zoom lens delivers a
     focusing range of 25-600 mm, making the V-Lux 2 extremely flexible and eliminating the
     need to carry and change lenses. Thanks to its full HD video function and lightning fast
     serial-photo speed of 11 shots per second, it lets you capture even the finest detail. The ideal
     instrument for modern-day explorers.
