Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD 15x56mm Roof Prism Binoculars
I recently purchased the Leupold BX-5 Santiam 15x56 binos in shadow gray from OP. The sale price and coupon finally put them within reach, a full $260 less than any other retailer.
I can't compare them with others 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 ...

I have spent a lot of time behind glass looking for the elusive Coues deer in Southern Arizona. I have compared these 15s to the “big 3”Swarovski, Ziess, and Leica. These Leupolds hold their own. Where Swarovski gives a warm tone to the image these give a cool tone to the image which I prefer. The edge to edge clarity is top notch. Great big glass
Best Used for:
Big country glassing
Would recommend: Yes

What a tough decision it is for such a major purchase! All I can say as I am beyond happy I picked these Santiam HD’s! These are extremely bright and crystal clear!!! I had high hopes and these did not fail to deliver. I have meopta HD 10x42 which have Swarovski quality glass. These Santiam’s are every bit as bright and clear as my Meopta’s. And these things are perfect for hunters! Fit and finish is perfect and they are super rugged and bulletproof. I mean these things ooze quality! Which they should at this price range. I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed in these and that includes people with euroglass. The extra magnification is just wonderful and they can easily be used without a tripod. But for long glassing a tripod is recommended. Leupold once again has not let me down. I recommend these 100% especially for the price!
Pros:
Quality
Clear, bright
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
Hunting, wildlife viewing,

Clarity and light gathering is excellent! The weight is actually a plus in helping keep them steady. I wanted the higher magnification as I am glassing hills quite a distance away. However, unless you have the rigidity of a statue or a tripod it can be tough to hold them steady. A lower power would be easier to keep the image steader. If I had one complaint it would be trying to get the right diopter setting just right. The diopter adjustment ring is quite stiff requiring quite a bit of torque to get it to turn this means the binoculars are moving around making it hard to focus. Once I got them dialed in they were perfect. I have spent hours sitting and observing the hills around our property.
Pros:
Clarity
Magnification
low light acquisition
Weight and balance
focusing ease
Cons:
Diopter adjustment
Best Used for:
Light astronomy
Distance Observation
Would recommend: Yes
