The existence of the Ultravid has sort of demoted the Trinovid with its slightly less good optics to second class; however the Swaro Curio and the Zeiss Victory 8x25 easily beat both Leicas on view alone, and any of the full size alphas open a window on a different world. In the end, the Trinovid wins for me on its all-round robustness, packability, and the fact that YES MA I CAN USE THIS WITHOUT GLASSES. I never take anything else anymore.
BTW, any known forum member wanna swap a Curio or even an older UV Leica 8x32 for my Victory 8x25 is welcome ... My sample is fairly unused (replacement) and sharp but I just don't like the model.
