This housing is then covered in a rubber armouring, which ensures that they are durable as well as tough enough to handle rugged conditions. As you would imagine, the highest quality for which all Leica sport optics are renowned is still very evident in both their manufacturing and optical quality.įor instance, you won’t find any plastic parts on the body and the chassis is made from magnesium which is very light as well as strong, but more robust than the polycarbonate shells that are now also commonly used.
