Leitz Trinovid 10 x 25 review
By Barry N. Schmidt
I have owned the Leitz Trinovid 10 x 25 binoculars for a great deal of years and rate the item highly. The optics are first-rate, and I get enjoyment from the feature that allows the user to adjust the eyepiece for those who wear glasses. The binoculars are rather little and light and effortlessly fit into a moderately-sized shirt or jacket chest pocket. Unfortunately the binos provide only a string-loop that may be worn around the neck. The loop is attached to only one of the binocular barrels, ruling out being competent to wear the binoculars thru a binocular strap. This is not a major concern, and there may be strap manufacturers that offer straps that may effortlessly be attached to the center of the Trinovids so that they may be worn outside costume on the chest area for easy retrieval. Fortunately, my hunting jackets have reasonably huge chest pockets that effortlessly accommodate the Trinovids.
I had dropped the binoculars in regards to a year ago and was concerned that the alignment might have been affected. I sent the unit back to the company; it took regarding two months to finish a re-alignment and recheck of the lenses, etc., at a cost of in regards to $125. The binoculars now operate like new.
Would I buy another pair of Trinovids? Probably. If the user doesn’t require specially sharp optics, a less pricey pair might be a consideration. I wanted the best binoculars I could find for around $300 (the price has increased just a bit since I purchased the Trinovids) and decisive on the Trinovids after comparing other binoculars of similar specifications. I like the compactness and quality of this model, but would in all probability want to add another pair that offer a wider field of view for sports car races, etc., even even though it means I would have to settle for something more prominent and less compact.
I am a person who doesn’t like to skimp on quality, since my experience has been that if I buy something cheap, I end up wanting to at last replace the item, thence wasting money. One more thing: I purchased the Leitz’s over the Zeiss 10 x 25 binos plainly because the Leitz binoculars seemed to have an requiring little effort center focus-adjust. Other than that, I found both brands to be identical in visual quality. I had purchased both from one of the camera companies on the east coast just to be competent to compare the two, held the Leitz’s and sent the Zeiss’s back.
I gave these binoculars four stars only because I wish the company had provided a fixed attachment loop at the center of the binoculars, or affixations on both barrels, so as to provide for attachment of straps to keep the binoculars in place on the chest when walking. The single loop attached to only one barrel is fine, but only if the user is standing still or sitting. Walking with the loop around the neck allows the binoculars to swing all over the place, making it almost mandatory that they be worn in a pocket or hand-carried when walking.
