Leica Trinovid HD review

Leica 10x42 HD Trinovid review for birding, hunting, hiking etc.

[@mikegreen2214]

Quality optics for sure. They feel so much better-made than anything else in the category; the build isn’t inferior to the Ultravid and Noctivid series, just different. I love a classic curved-field lens, too; it’s a better viewing experience than flat-field glass.

I have the Trinovid 8x42 and I love it. For me it's the sweetspot when it comes to size, weight and build quality. It feels really solid. I also tried the Noctivid which is significantly more heavy (and expensive:)).

I have owned both Zeiss Conquest HD 8x42 and Swarovski NL Pure 8x42. Both were sent in on warranty for play in the focuser. It was measured but at least an alpha glass should not suffer from such a problem. I read some mean Leica is superior when it comes to the mechanical quality. I would like to try out Trinovid 8x42 HD.

Should someone buy a Leica trinovid hd 10x42 or Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42 if they only had $1000 to spend? Between those two.

Thanks for making this vid. Question for you: I definitely don't have the $1000 budget for Leica but I got a sweet discount on the Vortex Razor HD for $600 bucks. Having used both pair of binoculars do you think it's worth getting the razor at $600 or waiting and saving the extra cash for the Leicas??

[@Sloba1992]

Which one you would recommend 8x42 or 10x42?

[@gear_hunter817]

They’re both great. It depends if you are prone to shaking or not. 8x42 is always a safe bet.

I bought the 8x However I’m finding it hard to get on with these. I do have the 10x42trins BA old but still gold .

[@mattk5020]

Are they perfect for stargazing?

[@ricardoernestosotobarrios9519]

A bit curved, ideal for daylight panning but at night I do like flat field glass.

Backwoods pursuit has the razor HD ahead of the trinovid..... I haven't looked through the trinovid but I have a verrrry hard time believing the razor HD is better... The razor HD isn't even better than the Leupold bx4

[@gear_hunter817]

I’ve not been blown away by the original razor hd. However these things are very personal with optics. Different eyes see things differently and enjoy certain different qualities in glass. Also things like sponsorships and general relationship with a manufacturer or other things can come into play.

I love the build quality of leicas. The armor looks super high quality and stays that way for 20 years. The new rubber zeiis and swaro armor looks so cheap in comparison. That said I think the optics of the zeiss conquest are better than the trinovids slightly. Better brightness, fov, and especially afov. Only think leica gets better is the depth of field and the armor. The conquests are built like a tank too though

I have the Zeiss Conquest HD 8x32 and I really like them! Amazing glass for the price and honestly almost no chromatic aberrations! I've heard that the 32's are best in that regard comparing to the bigger ones.
