Message: <blockquote data-quote="AGPank" data-source="post: 3345746" data-attributes="member: 135404">I had e razor 10x42 and have the Tinovid (non-HD). I didn't look at them side by side, but from notes on my other reviews. The razor does have a big field of view, is light weight, and is bright.  I really didn't like the ergonomics, mainly oddly placed thumb detents.  I think the razor needs to work on overall build quality. Rain guards and objective covers felt cheap and had to replace them within a year.  The emblem on the focus mechanism fell off and I had to reglue, and paint easily chipped off the body.  The eyepieces felt too thin for me too.  Vortex has a better reputation for warranty.  I was disappointed with CA control for a HD optic. I feel like the build quality is much better on Trinovid.  I really like the natural color rendition of the Trinovid.  The weight difference is negligible to me and the Trinovid holds better for me and had better ergonomics for me. I think Leica holds value better than Vortex. I feel like the Razor is good,but is over priced.</blockquote>
