The Leica CRF MAX is a high-performance tool that calculates the probability of
a target being hit by analyzing environmental data, such as wind, pressure, inclination, and other key factors.
Our goal was to translate this data into an intuitive interface that elevates distance measurement with exceptional accuracy and reliability, while staying true to Leica’s philosophy of essentialism and clarity.
