steve johnson said:I have owned 3 pair of 6x24 trinovid and one of the amplivid. The trinovid is a far superior instrument. These binoculars have an amazing field of view (212M) and can not be beat for theater or most sports applications. They have a somewhat "soft" image when compared to the trinovids made 20 years later, and even "softer" when compared with the new model trinovids (once called ultra) or the ultravids. Nevertheless, these are amazing binoculars and about as small as can be easily held. I wish any of the good companies would make something like this, but I suspect the market is pretty thin for such an instrument. by the way, I paid around $450 for the trinovids, but a price around $600 is more common today. Finally, the inflation rate from when these were made to today is over 500% so if they cost $100 in 1963 they should cost at least $500 today, not counting for the fact that they are rare.

I enjoy bird watching with my daughter, but I'm really more of a binocular collector.
Anyhow, does anyone here know or remember how much the 6x24 trinvid sold for back in the early 60s?

IMHO you are correct in your assumption. The identifying rings on trinovids are very easily removed, and possibly have been switched with another model. As the rings of different models are not all the same height, that may provide a clue as to which model the ring might be off. Looking at some of my trinovids, the 8x40 ring looks to be quite close to that of the 6x24.nitro270 said:so it menans that those ring under eyecups are not original?
showing ser # starting with 77 xxx? (regarding of 6x24 leitz trinovid)?
Regards

The plot thickens! The eye relief of the 6x24 trinovids is minimal, and hardly could make use of fold down eyecups, in fact I suggest that if the eyecups are not folded down, you are not benefitting from the awesomely wide view of this model. Now it sounds as if not only the rings, but also the eyecups are from a different trinovid model. Try folding down the eyecups, or even removing them. I bet the FOV will increase.nitro270 said:but it has also rubber foldable eyecup, inspite of others trinovid made in 64-66 which have solid eyecup, does it ,make sense to you?
Hi Adam, the dimensions are: Height 98mm, Width (at maximum IPD) 118mm, Depth 38mm, Weight 440 grams.Adam C said:Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the 6x24s, are they similar in size to the 8x20 ultravids?
