We purchased a "former" 10x Trinovid for my wife. She tried out the new version at a birding festival trade show last month and really liked them. She didn't really have any intention of dumping her Razor, but after I told her she could get the earlier and possibly better version for less money, she decided to make the purchase.
I used the new version for less than a minute, so I can't say much other than it seemed to provide a sharp and bright view. It seemed like a very nice bino, and nothing unusual jumped out at me. The new diopter adjustment mechanism worked just fine, but certainly I would have preferred the older style.
The older version we now have has really grown on me. After using it a while, I have come to enjoy it's very sharp and bright view that to my eyes has slightly better color saturation than does the Conquest HD and the Razor. The Trinovid does not have a color bias like the Meopta Meostar. I can't tell that the Trinovid is any sharper in the central area than the Razor or Conquest HD, but it is certainly brighter than the Razor (our Conquest HD is a 32mm, so I won't compare brightness). I have come to prefer the Trinovid's overall view over the Razor and Conquest HD and Meostar.
Build quality is pure Leica. You get a great sense of sturdiness when you pick it up, and when you move the hinge. I do not think it has any less build quality than does our alpha binos that cost more than twice as much. This also means there is some heft to it as well. It weighs noticeably more than the Razor. Of course weight does not necessarily mean a better build quality, but IMO the Leica feels as substantial as any alpha bino out there. I cannot think of any $900 bino that gives an owner a better feeling of substantial build quality.
IMO the Trinovid is also a very handsome bino as well. It has more of an understated but elegant look than does the other alpha brands. To look at the outer armor, you wouldn't think it is as grippy as it turns out to be. I really like the feel of the armor - I think it has the perfect amount of grippiness (probably not a real word). The eyecups are probably about average for it's price. They work perfectly fine, but really aren't anything to write home about. The diopter adjustment works extremely well. I think it it one of the more elegant diopter mechanisms out there. This by itself is enough for me to pick the older version over the new one.
Accessories are of a quality that is commensurate with it's price. The lens covers are of a very good quality, and seem to seal extremely well. We are not using the neckstrap, so I can't comment on it's comfort. The only thing that is a bit odd about the bino is the strap lugs, which are a thin wire lug. At least they are unobtrusive in their appearance, and better yet are positioned away from the edge of my hands. Another noticeable difference from many other binos is the presence of thumb ridges on the underside of the barrels, instead of the more usual thumb indentations. I didn't think I would like them when I first held the binos, but it only took a few minutes of use to find out that I actually prefer the ridges over indentations. Obviously these will not fit every hand out there, but I really like the way the Trinovids handle.
One last thing, before I forget about it -- the focus wheel is nicely damped but still easy to turn. Not too fast or slow. I can tell that is has a near-imperceptible gap when switching to clockwise, but overall I think the focus wheel characteristics are just fine for it's price.
I guess you can tell that for $899, we are happy with it.......
