I was luck enough to be the first person at South West Optics in Truro to try the all new Leica Trinovid today, it Had literally just arrived. It was a 10x42, I only used it from the shop looking at the streets around, it was a cold grey day. Lighter than the old model, styled similar to the Ultravid, nicely balanced, easy eye placement, sharp from edge to edge and bright especially given such a grey day. IMO it "looked" less expensive than the ultravid which I did not compare optically, I`m not a 10X fan but my brief look left me impressed, if I were in the market for an Ultravid I`d be holding off for a good test of these first at around a %20 saving. Looking forward to the new Zeiss Conquest which they told me would be with SWO this year.
