Leupold Full Lifetime Guarantee
If any Leupold Golden Ring product is found to have defects in materials or workmanship, Leupold will, at its option, repair or replace it. Even if you are not the original owner. No warranty card is required. No time limit applies. What is Twilight Factor?
The factor that has the greatest impact on resolution or image detail, will be dependent upon the amount of light available during the time of observation. During daylight hours, when your eye pupil size will be only about 2 to 3mm, magnification will be the principal factor in image resolution. At night, with the eye pupil dilated to 6 to 8mm, aperture size is the controlling factor. In twilight conditions both of these factors control resolution effectiveness and the twilight factor is the term that compares binocular performance under these conditions. The twilight factor is calculated by taking the square root of the product of the magnification and the aperture. The higher the twilight factor, the better the resolution of the binocular when observing under dim light conditions. For example, a 10 X 40 (twilight factor 20) would effectively resolve better under these conditions than a 7 X 35 (twilight factor 15.4) even though the 10 X 40 has a smaller exit pupil. Remember, however, that the twilight factor does not take into account the transmittance or quality of the optical system.

If you want a bit more reach...... February 1, 2010
S. Pettis (Seattle, WA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased this scope to get more reach than my 8X binoculars and my telephoto camera lens while out shooting wildlife, mainly birds. It is light and not much longer than a pair of binoculars. The exterior is rubberized. I wear it around my neck on a lanyard barely noticing it is there. I think the optics are above average overall though they might appear better on a tripod or at least a monopod. Once I get out around 15-20X I find it difficult to stabilize the image unless I lean on something like my camera monopod.This may be more of a problem for me than others. I also find the side focusing knob a little more awkward than I thought I would mainly because I am right handed. I am getting more use to focusing with my left hand. The focus knob and the zoom mechanism are stiff but I suspect this is related to the waterproofing. With this scope I can identify birds that I cannot with my 8X binoculars without carrying a bigger spotting scope so I'd say it does what I wanted it to do. I am quite satisfied with this purchase. Better ergonomics and I would have given it 4 stars at least.
