Good news for Leica BN and BA owners.
If you own a pair of Leica BN's or BA's in 10X42 or 8X42 then you are probably aware that there has been no front lens covers available. (They do have a very good eyepiece lens cover.)
To some this is no big deal as you use them out of a pouch/case.
I like to sling my bino's around my neck and have them ready at all times, however without lens caps the front lens are exposed.
I've always liked that feature in Swarovski SLC's, although I prefer Leica, as they seem a little more robust. ( I have both.)
Good news is that the new Ultravid lens caps (10X42) fit the BN's perfectly, and I'm presuming will also fit the BA's.
You can buy the part seperately and it's not too expensive (About $20.00)
part # 434-630.001-007
I've just bought some via net and they were delivered very promptly. Fit a treat.
