Leica Trinovid 8x42 HD binoculars

The Trinovid HD is the latest version of Leica's classic series. Before the launch of the Noctivid series, these were the manufacturer's top series and now offer a very good option in the mid-price category. This 8x42 is a very versatile model and is suitable for birdwatching, nature viewing and hunting.

The image quality is very good in all areas. The colors are reproduced naturally, the image is bright and sharp.

The mechanical quality is top-notch, as is typical of Leica. The metal frame is sturdy and the rubber coating makes it easy to grip. The eyepiece adjustment is also very sturdy and the focus wheel has a really good feel. The eyepieces have many locking points, so you can adjust them to suit your needs. The eye relief is 15 mm, so these binoculars are also suitable for most people who wear glasses.

The closest focusing distance is quite short, like other Trinovids, only 1.8 meters in this 8x42 model. This means that you can observe the details of natural objects much closer than usual.
