I bought Leupold Binoculars because I buy all Leupold scopes in VX5 & VX6 on my multitude of hunting rifles. I love the clarity and brightness they provide on western hunts. Unless your going to buy high end European glass, Leupold is the way to go.

Excellent quality and clarity. Zoom

Excellent quality and clarity. Zoom is extraordinary. These are perfect if you are stationary, but the weight would not be great if they were in a harness and you were mobile needing to glass quickly. This is not what I purchased these for, so I am super happy and satisfied.

super sharp, clarity, low light and good w/glare!

i had another brand of binoculars before this one. they were $750, won't say what brand. couldn't get the diopter set good enough, so the image looked like two identical photoshop layers with one layer's opacity slightly lowered and slightly blurred, and threw your eyes off. sent them back, they sent me another pair. same thing. sent them back again and got a third pair, same thing again. they were also not good in low light at all and bad with glare. sold them, and picked up a 12x50 santium hd. it's perfect, the diopter adjustment set in correctly, looks like one image. finally! didn't have the problem like three pairs of the other brand did. the sharpness, clarity on the santium is awesome. and super good with glare and awesome in low light. i could still get a sharp image and could focus out and was still able to focus back in to get a sharp picture right before dark. i see alot of other people complaining about the uncomfortable eye cups, but they don't bother me, even when looking through them for long periods. i don't have to pull the eye cups out either, so i don't have to worry about them moving. the gen 2 bx-4's winged eye cups are really nice though, tried them out. it would be nice to have them for the bx-5's. i don't like the new grip on the gen 2 bx-4's though, they look and feel cheap. hopefully if leupold does a gen 2 bx-5, they keep the same grip as their current version. i'm betting that won't happen though. i don't know, maybe alot of customers gave feedback and wanted a "better grip", but seems the opposite to me. just doesn't grip and looks cheap. the original bx-4 and bx-5 grip just looks like higher quality. but yes, bx-5 is sharp all the way out! focus wheel friction is really good, but sorry another complaint, it would be nice if the diopter ring was locking like the bx-4 or the viper hd. the ring on the bx-5 is supposed to be a tight friction, but it still moves around. leupold, make a locking diopter ring if you come out with a gen 2 bx-5! still five stars though, these are awesome binoculars.

No joy on the Elk but saw a lot of really cool stuff and had a great time up in the mountains. Would definitely recommend them. They are very clear and the eye relief is significant so eye fatigue wasnt really a problem.

Good clarity, great optics. Only complaint is the eye cup, the eye cup has a ridge on it, verse being smooth. So after long hours behind the glass it digs in, and is uncomfortable. If leupold fixed this eye cup, I would give 5 stars.

Optics are really clear, but the only down side for me is that the image gets a little shaky if you don't have a steady hand or something to brace with. I wish they had a image stabilizer in them. Other than that it is a great product.

Great glass, the only thing I would change are the eye pieces, I wish they would stick at each eye relief position a little harder. I end up pushing them in when putting them up to my face.

Lovely

The glass clarity and sharpness make the world around feel magestic, and the field of view makes finding your object easy. The one odd aspect to me are the eye cups. The FOV is short enough that they don't need to be extended, which is good, because when they are extended, they cut off the outsides of the FOV. This ended up being a non-issue for myself, but it is the only reason that I couldn't put 5 stars. On the other hand, the focus knob is smooth rolling and really feels like a piece on a luxury optic. It is simply a pleasurable experience to look through these binoculars.

These binoculars are great. I'm a guide, so I spend a lot of time looking through binoculars. I've used these on several hunts this summer and they have far-exceeded my expectations. They're big binoculars, so wouldn't be my first choice for someone who does a lot of spot and stalk hunting and doesn't want to have two pairs of binoculars. Only complaint I have is the case, which is too small. Had a hunter order the BX-4 12X50s, which are significantly smaller binoculars. Same case as the 15X56s, and fit the 12X50s perfect. BTW, the BX-4 12X50s were also great binoculars and I would highly recommend them, especially for a spot and stalk hunter.

Awesome!!!

By TXNM

Been a Leica optics user for almost 10 years. I owned a pair new Leica rangefinder binocular and matching spotting scope. All purchased in 2018. Due to there poor customer service, I went on a mission to find new optics. After a lot of research and review I decided on the Leupold Santiam optics. After my first sheep hunt, I am so impressed. Leupold has come miles in there optics's. Don't over look these binoculars or spotting scopes. Super happy and a Leupold customer for life!

Yes...they're that good.

By CSharp

I can't compare them with other brands because I've never used other binos in this class. I can, however, compare them to the Leupold BX-4 12x50 binos I bought just a few months ago. I was so impressed with the quality of the BX-4s that I wanted to make the step up to the next level. I'm very happy I did. I use these basically for wildlife viewing at long distances and bird watching. I live in northern Idaho along the Clearwater River and frequently spend time watching eagles, herons, pelica...

Just when you thought your outdoor viewing experience couldn't get any better, the Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD 15x56mm binoculars emerge as a game-changer in high-powered optics. Engineered for the dedicated outdoorsman, these binoculars are the ideal companion for spotting elusive Coues deer and sheep on distant ridgelines or engaging in extended birdwatching sessions. The generous eyebox is designed for comfort during long periods of use, ensuring your outdoor adventures are never cut short by eye strain.

The BX-5 Santiam HD binoculars boast extra-low dispersion HD lenses, which, when combined with the Twilight Max Light Management System, deliver a crisp, vibrant image with optimal contrast, even in challenging light conditions. The cutting-edge Abbe-Koenig prisms enhance light transmission, redefining clarity and resolution, particularly at extreme long ranges where detail is paramount.

Durability is at the core of the BX-5 Santiam HD binoculars, featuring a 100% waterproof and fog-proof construction that guarantees performance in all weather conditions. The rugged aluminum housing is enveloped in a rubber armor coating, providing a secure grip and added protection against the elements.

The optical excellence of these binoculars is further amplified by BAK 4 Prisms, which produce a perfectly round exit pupil with minimal edge distortion, ensuring a crisp, clear image throughout the visual field. The central focus dial is large and tactile, designed for ease of use even with gloved hands, allowing for precise focusing to discern fine details in nature's landscapes.

Customization is key, and the diopter focus paddle allows for precise adjustments, compensating for individual eye differences, ensuring a tailored viewing experience. The ergonomic design of the BX-5 Santiam HD binoculars ensures they are slim, lightweight, and comfortable to hold, regardless of hand size.

The fully multi-coated lens system maximizes brightness, providing clarity, contrast, and color fidelity that brings the natural world to life. High-definition, calcium-fluoride lenses offer unparalleled clarity across all magnification levels, while the lead-free glass composition reflects Leupold's commitment to environmental stewardship.

Phase-coated roof prisms significantly enhance resolution, delivering a sharp, edge-to-edge sight picture. The proprietary nitrogen fill process, a hallmark of Leupold's quality assurance, ensures ruggedness and absolute waterproof integrity.

For those who prefer a stable viewing platform, the BX-5 Santiam HD binoculars are tripod-ready, featuring a built-in 1/4-20 tripod adapter port for easy mounting. The twist-up eyecups and long eye relief make for comfortable viewing, while the Xtended Twilight Lens System optimizes the transmission of low-light wavelengths, allowing you to witness the subtleties of dawn and dusk in stunning detail.
