Trinovid 10x40 : 110m/1000m ; 600g ; splash resistant ; € 1180-1350.
Trinovid HD 10x42 : 113m/1000m ; 720g ; waterproof ; € 960.
Apart from the cool look of the new Trinovid that one may like for nostalgic reasons, doesn't the HD have a lot going for it if one doesn't need the very lightest weight?
Mark:
This is an interesting thread, and it brings up several models of the Trinovid,
and they are mentioned.
The new 10x40 retro model is not out yet, so we have to wait a bit to see
how it is.
I have a nice example of the late Leitz 10x40 Trinovid, and it is well regarded,
very nice optics.
I have also had both of the Leica versions of the latest Trinovids, the 2011-2015, and the new Trinovid HD. I also have the Leica 8x42 Ultravid HD, so
have examples of several of the ones talked about.
When comparing these, the older 2011 Trinovid is high quality, but is a
bit behind the HD, and the Ultravid HD, as far as brightness goes.
The current Leica Trinovid 10x42 HD is very good, and would compare well
to the Zeiss Conquest HD, and the many newer midrange models out there.
There is a nice thread, you could look back at, last post on the Leica subforum,
from 3-14-17, for more on these.
If I were you I would wait a while before deciding on which one to get.
