Leupold BX4 12x50 binocular review

[Moondog]

When I reviewed the BX-4 Pro Guide HD Gen2 last year, I was impressed by its world-class optical performance. Over the last couple of months, I have grown to like it even more. Recently, I took it to a baseball game at San Francisco’s Oracle Park.

The BX4 gave excellent views of the players in the field. I went handheld for the entire game, so its wide exit pupil and broad zone of focus made looking through it and finding focus very easy, no matter the distance of my object of interest. Best of all, the ergonomics made the BX4 feel effortless to hold. This will be my go-to optic for my sporting events moving forward.
