How they laughed at Schloss Leica,
“ Heinrich let’s bung on a red button and use the old Kriegsmarine life jackets as bino cases and save a few DM’s”
Ah! Of course,
This is getting to be like an episode from Dad's Army or 'Allo 'Allo.Ah! Of course,
The MK2 self inflating one that replaced the brown Kriegsmarine, ‘Rettungsring mit Schwimmhilfe aus Beton’ which for some reason didn’t quite perform to DIN standards.
Wonderful Leica design, Wonderful optical instrument... Enjoy !! 😉my new Trinovid 8x32HD arrived this morning.
Case is same as current UV+ purchased a few weeks back (8x32).just noticed you have a proper case! I got a silly neoprene soft zip pouch which I don't use. I store my Trinovid in a Swaro case.
I'll contact Leica to see if I can acquire a new case. very nice!
So you, you really are a funny bird !!!!!!! 😝I really don't know what to buy now.. they felt amazing.
Honestly, I just don't have luck. I won't have a headache at any cost it's awful. It should be relaxed and enjoyable.So you, you really are a funny bird !!!!!!! 😝
Of course !Honestly, I just don't have luck. I won't have a headache at any cost it's awful. It should be relaxed and enjoyable.
To be fair, Im very worried about ordering online and think I may have to have a run out to somewhere where I can maybe try some next to each other and take it from there.Of course !
So reverse, and order the CLs !!
You could try a pair of Zeiss next.Peeps I don't believe this, I'm back to square one, had to send the Leica back, they were giving me eye strain, headache even after short usage. I checked collimation best I could and they looked fine, eventually realised as soon as I put to my eye I felt a bit of strain I didn't notice at first.

I don't think with my budget £800 I'm going to get anything decent, I hate glare and haze effects, so not a clue what would be an alternative for my mere money.

That's were I'm going next, try then out in a shop next to each other, are there particular brand or models you'd maybe recommend pls, like you say maybe Zeiss, that would probably be the victory 8x25 or the conquest. Down from there other brands and particular you can recommend, models etc?It certainly ought to be possible to get a decent binocular at your budget, all mine cost less than that. But I've noticed some folks can be more sensitive to binoculars that are out of collimation (I think either Rg548 or Bentley of this parish might be) than others. It might have been worth asking Leica on this.
But without a doubt posts like yours bear out the oft repeated advice that nothing beats looking through binoculars with your own eyes and picking one that suits you.
That’s too bad. I’ve read numerous positive comments and reviews regarding the Trinovids and haven’t come across any comments regarding eyestrain. The Zeiss Conquest 8x32’s gave me eyestrain though. Are you considering the Nikon Monarch HG 8x42’s? I sent my lower-end binoculars in for service, so I might try the Monarch M7 or HG 8x42’s. Good luck with your quest!That's were I'm going next, try then out in a shop next to each other, are there particular brand or models you'd maybe recommend pls, like you say maybe Zeiss, that would probably be the victory 8x25 or the conquest.

They don't have to be small, I don't mind 8x42 but it's just my budget that made me go tor the 8x32.
Thanks Gary
