Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
I actually went for the O-ring solution for this Trinovid. The extra 1,5mm or so is sufficient to avoid eyelash smears in most cases. It was a bit fiddly to get them on since you have to keep them in position while you tighten the original eye cups. If they fold over themselves, or lose their... -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
Well, I gave it a proper try and it actually seems like it's enough. I need about 1,5mm, and that's basically what I can squeeze in there and still get enough thread-turn to feel safe. This was a very good tip! :) I'll order some O-rings off ebay at once, or even better if i can find... -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
Yeah, I just gave it a try, and it may actually be enough. And I have some O-rings in different dimensions laying around some were so I can test this with everything tightened (although no washers). What i'm concerned about would just be dirt being deposited under the eye cup. From what I can... -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
Did you do anything about the inside? Or perhaps it's a non-issue? I guess it could be solved with an additional o-ring as well, but I would probably prefer a washer. -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
Hi Lee, I assume that I would have to add a circular washer as well? If not, there will be an air gap between the perimeter of the ocular lens and rubber flange inside the eye cup... The outer diameter of the eye cups (where they meet the rings with the specs.) is about 33.5mm, and the... -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
Ah, yes. This is a very important thing I have to to consider. Thanks for pointing it out. :) I'll probably take your advice and look for a pair of 18mm replacements. Do you by any chance know the article number of these? Just to ensure I get the correct version. -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
Thanks for the info, Good to know that the longer eyecups fit this version as well. Iv'e noticed that if I I'm careful when taking up the Trinovid to my face the smear is minimal, but if i just by accudent add a bit too much pressure toward my face, the risk of smears increases significantly... -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
It's nice to hear that there is someone that's more into these binoculars than I am. I brought my Trinovid to work today; to show off to my colleagues. I can tell you that the response was really good! Most of them could not believe that they were over 40 years old, and that the design was... -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
I took the Leitz for some more extensive testing today. And now I feel I should revise my previous statement a bit. :) When the light is plenty the optics in the Leitz perform really good. I tried using the binoculars in "B-mode" (eyecups folded back), and this made it much easier to get a full... -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
Thanks for the product booklet. Regarding performance It's a bit hard for me to provide any comparison to today's equivalent since I actually don't own any new binoculars of that caliber. But I have a Docter Aspherical 8x32 from the 1990's, and the Docter is clearly better when it comes to... -

Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
Speaking of odd versions: I came across this one some time ago on the Swedish equivalent to Ebay. http://www.tradera.com/item/342678/232877846/seitz-wetzland It sold for some serious cash (about 225 EUR) considering that it's in exceptionally bad exterior shape. And the seller did not really... -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
Ah, even better :-) 773148 It's the 8x32 150m @ 1km version if it makes any difference. -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
Thanks, this is very helpful. The only thing that conflicts a bit with this is the info below (although i believe your source is more reliable ;)). Yeah, I've looked around a bit on that site and found it helpful. But some of the details can be a bit off I noticed (although most of the info... -
Shape and color of Leitz-logo?
I recently got hold of a really nice pair of Leitz Trinovids 8x32. I've been wanting a well preserved pair for quite some time, primarily because of the super stylish retro-appearance. :t: During the time I was looking for a pair noticed that the logotype appears in (at least) 4 different...
