I'm getting a bit lost with the many versions of the Trinovid I've seen since the turn of the century, and was hoping somebody here could clear things up for me.
I think I remember a new Trinovid series being announced a good decade ago, that had a very cool design (IMHO) and was regarded optically as fine, if not at the level of the Ultravid.
Then sometime more recently there was a more affordable version made that cut costs by losing the close focus ability (or was another brand doing that??). Was this already called HD?
Now the current (?) Trinovid HD appear to have regained the close focus ability, but I don't know what other optical changes have been made. I saw the recent x32 announcement in this series.
Did I miss any steps? Can somebody compare the pros and cons of the various versions? How can they be distinguished just by looking at a picture of them?
