Pinmaster primary target logic  

A software solution that has been developed especially for the sport of golf has been inte-

grated in the 

LEICA PINMASTER

. It always evaluates the reflection of the light pulse that arrived first (“nearest echo” principle).

For example : you sight a flag pin with woods in its background. The first echo logic only evaluates the signal reflected by the 

flag pin, not the signal reflected by the woods. This provides optimal results for golfing purposes, for example for checking the

improvement of one’s handicap during training, or for the groundskeeper to conduct a new survey of the greens. On the other

hand, 

LEICA RANGEMASTER

models always evaluate the strongest signal reflection (“strongest echo” principle). In the example

cited above, they would indicate the distance to the woods. This prevents unwanted false measurements caused by shrubs and

saplings during intensive use in the field.

Leica rangefinder technology – with a press of the button

Leica rangefinders distinguish themselves primarily by the

fact that they can be operated intuitively, by the excellent 

legibility of their LED displays and by their bright optics. Press-

ing the measuring button just once switches the instrument

on, the target sight appears in the display and the object can

now be addressed. Pressing the button a second time dis-

plays the measured distance. By keeping the button pressed,

the instrument automatically switches to a scan mode, which

is indicated by a blinking display. The instrument now provides

continually updated measurement values. The scan mode is

especially helpful for the perfect measurement of distances

to small or rapidly moving targets. 

The measurement of distances is based on an eye-safe light

pulse that is reflected by the object that is being sighted. 

A microprocessor uses the time elapsed until the light pulse

has returned to compute the distance and then indicates it 

in the instrument’s display.

LED displays in rangefinders  

The actively glowing LED displays in Rangemaster-, Pinmaster- and Geovid models employ a 

sensor that automatically tailors their intensity to the prevailing ambient light at all times. This feature assures perfect legibility in

all light conditions and it especially prevents eye glare during nighttime observation. 

Multifunction centrer drive  

The combination knob for the Leica 

center drive feature performs two important functions : diopter com-

pensation and focusing. Because of its size, it is always easy to use 

as a focusing wheel and it provides ergonomic handling and a steady

observation. The large diopter scale allows quick and convenient 

setting of your personal diopter value. 

quick initial focusing

fine focusing

Televid dual focusing  

The dual focusing device

patented by Leica is incorporated in Leica spotting

scopes. Two separate focusing drums enable the

observer to perform a quick initial focusing followed

by an accurate fine focusing to obtain an image

that is always perfectly sharp.

Removable, sliding eyecups with two click stops  

A newly de-

signed rotating sliding eyecup is used on binocular models Duovid

50 and 42, Ultravid 50, 42 and 32 and Geovid. It can easily be

removed for cleaning at any time and it has two click stops with

which different eye relief distances (AP positions) can be set indi-

vidually (with eyeglasses = retracted ; without eyeglasses = pulled

out). With its gently cushioning rubber element it guarantees long,

relaxed observation and for eyeglass wearers it provides secure

positioning without damaging the eyeglasses. The remaining Leica

binoculars are equipped with sliding eyecups that guarantee an

optimal eye relief. 

Automatic Diopter Compensation ADC™

ADC™ (Automatic Diopter Compensation)  

ADC™ (Automatic Diopter

Compensation) is the eminent innovation in Duovid binoculars. ADC™ main-

tains the original diopter setting when you change the magnification (from 

8 x to 12 x, or from 10 x to 15 x as the case may be).
