Leica Ultravid 8x20 dissection (The beauty)
NDhunter, Yes. But with quotation marks " 🩺 ", with the meaning of detailed inspection of optical/mechanical performance and design! 🩻 I did "dissections" of other binoculars as well :D (Habicht, SF, MHG) -
Leica Ultravid 8x20 dissection (The beauty)
ReinierB, enjoy your Trinovid!!! Trinovid 8x20 is a perfect pocket binocular. I like its design even more than the Ultravid design. Leica knows how to make these pocket binoculars extremely robust with mechanics without weaknesses. Not like I've heard about other new models, (that had just... -

ReinierB, I sold my new Trinovid with 300euro and put another 100euro to buy this used Ultravid. I practically exchanged without much extra money! If this opportunity had not arisen, probably I would have been satisfied with Trinovid also. But it is definitely worth switching from Trinovid to... -

The quality is felt without looking through it, only if you hold it in your hands! And when you put it in front of your eyes, the... -

Leica Ultravid 8x20 dissection (The beauty)
Granpoli, I am preparing a detailed comparison between Trino and Ultra, but to make a summary I would say that Ultravid has a higher contrast image and is sharp almost to the edges compared to Trinovid which blurs more at the edges. But Trinovid compensates for the fact that it is even smaller... -

I found Ultravid 8x20 BR at a good price and I couldn't resist. I tested it for a while and now I will share my Ultravid impressions and images with you. (I will make soon a detailed comparison between Ultravid 8x20 and Trinovid 8x20) Mechanical presentation Ultravid eyepieces covers fit...
