Those characters are essential in high-performance binoculars, so the Trinovid HDs get a high rating for these. Leica Trinovid HDs meet the highest industry standards in two significant traits: the prismsĪre made of phase-coated BaK-4 glass, and the lenses are fully multi-coated. These are both average values for this characteristic, and should be comfortable for most users. The 10x Trinovid HD provides 15 mm of eye relief, while the 8x model offers 17 mm. The 10x42 Trinovid HD offers a 339-foot field of view at 1000 yards, which is a bit better than average the 8x42 Trinovid HD has a 372-foot field of view, which is just about average performance in this regard. In this respect, the Trinovids actually outperform the Ultravids, whose minimum closeįocus is a bit under 10 feet. The 8x model are a bit longer at 5.9 feet. The 10x42 Trinovid HD closeįocuses down to 5.3 feet without significant field collapse.
One pleasant surprise about the new Trinovids is their close focus capability. Leica Trinovid HDs offer a broad interpupillary distance range of 58-76 mm which means they should comfortably fit most people’s faces. Which is just perfect! Like all good roof prism designs these days, the Trinovid HDs are fully sealed, nitrogen-purged and totally waterproof. Ergonomically, these binoculars seem to demand to be held, The black rubber armoring has a matte finish and a tacky feel that makes them stick to the hands in a very appealing way. in weight, though this probably doesn’t include the weight of things like the lens covers. Leica claims the binoculars are just a shade under 26 oz. That these new Trinovids are absolutely lovely!īoth the new Trinovids are compact at just under 6 inches (15 cm) tall with the eyecups fully extended and slightly less than 5 inches across (< 12.5 cm) with the hinge fully open. We got a 10x42 HD model for review, and we are pleased to report Trinovids so beautiful: slim design, lightweight and comfortable in the hands, and offering sharp and compelling views. Into this mix comes the new Leica Trinovid HD line, and it’s a return to everything that made the old
Significant portion of it that can’t afford the $2000 price tag of the Ultravids. Well, that would have been too hasty! The sport optics market is still huge, and there is a Their Ultravid line in 2007, it seemed like the coffin was nailed shut on the Trinovid line. In a market where birders demand an almost impossible set of traitsįrom their optics such as completely sealed, waterproof, close-focusing, brilliant optics with a huge field of view, there seemed to be no place for those Trinovids. The armoring of those Trinovids had metal ridges that made them uncomfortable to hold, especially with prolonged use. Leica released a version of the Trinovids that featured some garish color choices for the armoring (including bright red!) in a compact but rather heavy binocular. They were a slim, compact, lightweight binocular with crisp, bright image quality that was simply seductive. One of the 2 or 3 finest binoculars available. Back in the late 1970s, Leica Trinovids were arguably To anyone who has many years spent birding or watching nature, the Leica Trinovid name has a certain cache associated with it.
