Leica 8x42 Trinovid - HD Binoculars

These binoculars are lightweight, but seem to be very well made. The image is clear and bright, and easy to focus. There is a good angle of view also. I use them primarily to view wildlife from the windows and patio of my home. They have easy to use individual adjustments for each eye to correct for differences in acuity. They are made in Portugal, one of the few binoculars under $1000 NOT made in China. They are relatively expensive, although I think they are worthy of the price.

Purchased the 8x42HD Trinovid 40318. Binoculars is as expected but it arrived with a cheaper basic brown neoprene bag rather than the advertised adventure strap.

10X32. Leica solid chioce always. Contrast is a step above lesser priced binoculars. These weigh 23.1 oz on my scales, which makes them steady in my hands. For me they can take the place of a 42mm, smaller size than a 42mm, the 32mm seems to me more comfortable in really bright settings. Not bad at all in low light. Resolution is very good. After a few days I ordered the second one, great price. I hear the warrenty service is slower than some but if you don't heavily abuse them I'm guessing you will never need it.

Great glass, great price. Do the research. Best glass in this price range. Better than most binos even higher priced. You sacrifice a bit of field of vision at 1000 yards, but it’s worth it for the other advantages, like superior light-gathering and color-rendering.

Like all aspects of the bino , dislike the carry bag. There were some delay in shipment and delivery but never mind.
