My 8x32 Trinovid BNs are at Leica getting repaired. As of today they have estimated it'll be 7-9 weeks. Since I don't have any other bins currently that I can stand using, I'm thinking of buying another pair of bins to get me through the winter birding season here is SoCal.
So, I'm strongly considering the 10x42 Trinovid HDs. I used to have 10x42 BAs and could find no fault with them other than their brick-ish weight and form. The new Trins don't suffer that problem.
I thought 10x42s would compliment the 8x32s when a little more horse power is desired. The other bins I'm interested in are the new (old) Trinovid 7x35s but they're not available yet and are a bit more money. Frankly, the "slash proof" designation isn't thrilling as well. Other than those issues, they look great.
So, to those of you with experience with the various versions of Leica 10x42s, including the Trinovid HDs, would you offer up your opinions of how they stack up?
Thanks,
Kevin
