[QUOTE="Rathaus, post: 3620602, member: 132018"] I just weighed some old 10x40 (122M) Trinovids at 575 grams. (8x32 - 495 grams, Amplivids - 347 grams) Same scales weigh the SV8.5 at 846 grams. Noctivid 8x42 - 852 grams. The other brilliant feature of of the old Trinovid focus and diopter setting is the ability to adjust focus with forefinger and diopter with ring finger or pinky - both on the fly. Both can be adjusted simultaneously. Sounds slightly tricky and perhaps useless, but its brilliant IMO. Incredibly intuitive and easy to master. Perfect for tweaking focus. Combine this with a smooth precision and first class tactility absent in other binoculars and you have focusing heaven. Let's hope the new trinovids capture some of this. [/QUOTE]
