Leica 8x42 Trinovid HD Binocular

Is the increase in quality worth the increase in cost? You could easily pay much more than twice the money for a pair of binoculars that are only a few percent higher in quality (insert luxury jewelry company name here), and these are twice the price of my Monarchs, better, but definitely not twice as good. It all depends on you. I like that you can focus down to about 5 feet. There was a question about whether they come with a strap, yes! and lens caps and a case. C'mon, really, when was the last time you saw a $1,000 pair of binoculars that didn't come with a strap? And it's comfortable.

No doubt a fine pair of binoculars, but..., they cost more than twice to very similar quality binocs. My wife ordered the same day the Zeiss Terra 8x42 (supposedly in a lower range) at a price of $428.65. My pair of Leicas were $1066.21, and we went birding immeadiately. Of course we interchanged to compare them and I regretted doing it. The much cheaper Zeiss Terra were as sharp as the Leicas, seem to be as good gathering light, and with a much better focusing knob, very precise and faster to focus, and the build quality feels the same. For years I wanted a pair of Leicas and paid for them as I expected an extraordinary and much better experience. But there are better options at less than the half price. Happily I am returning them. If their price were around $500 I would keep them, but at over $1000 no way they give you twice a better experience.

Meeting my expectations exactly in quality, clarity and ease of use. The adjustment time lag is ideal for bird watching.

This replaced 2 Leitz binoculars, a 10X50 and a 10X22. The 10X50 was very heavy and hard to hold still enough. The 10x22 had to be held against the face in a somewhat awkward manner and although very light, had an awfully narrow field of view. This new (to me) 8X40 pair is both light and easy to pack about, it offers a wide angle view and the difference between 8 power and 10 just isn’t a significant issue.

Fantastic Binoculars
