Leica Trinovid 8×32 HD- Detailed Analysis & Review

Magnification

The binoculars provide  8X magnification with a 32mm objective lens. The diameter of its objective lens is only 32 mm., like the 10×32 Leica Trinovid, but the 8×32 is brighter, owing to a generous exit pupil of 4mm.

Build Quality & Construction

The binoculars provide unsurpassed rugged build quality with a lightweight die-cast Aluminium alloy chassis.

The Trinovids are shock resistant with a fully rubber armored body. You can take your binoculars confidently in any harsh weather conditions whether it is extreme cold or rain owing to Leica’s weatherproof body.

The binoculars provide a nice and clean design. At first, when I saw the binoculars, I felt the design to be really simple and easy on the eyes.

You can easily personalize eye relief distance with the really well made adjustable rubber eyecups.

They can be fixed at 4 set positions given and lock properly once adjusted as per the user requirements.

The diopter setting is located on the right eyepiece lens and does their work perfectly. The focusing mechanism is easy to fiddle with one finger which is not surprising considering Leica’s best quality standards.

The binoculars are O-ring sealed for waterproofing and are nitrogen purged which makes them fog proof too.

What’s in the Case?

• Obviously, The Leica 8×32 Binoculars
• A nice good Quality Neoprene bag with Leica Logo
• Objective and eyepiece lens covers made of Rubber
• Instruction Manual
• Lens Cleaning Cloth
• Warranty Information Card
• Neoprene Neck Strap

Optical Performance/Image Clarity

The optical quality of the binocular is very high. The Leica Trinovid 8×32 provides a sharp and well-contrasted image to the eye.

The lenses are of very high quality and fully multicoated to give the optimum quality color and clarity.

The binoculars use Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms which are P-40 phase-corrected and dielectric fully multi-coated. This ensures the optimum maximum light transmission and eliminate interference resulting in bright images.

Internal reflection and Chromatic aberration are negligible and the binoculars present a well-defined image to the eyes. The binoculars provide a good low-light performance too for your early morning and evening outdoor adventures.

However, considering Leica’s exceptional quality legacy, we expect a little bit more center and edge sharpness.

Eye Relief And Field of View

The Leica Trinovid 8×32 provided with an eye relief of 17mm which is good to go for most of the eyeglass wearer.

The field of view of the 8×32 mm is 372ft at 1000yards which is not the largest considering 8×32 configuration. However, it’s optimum and satiates most of the outdoor viewers.

Close Focus

Capturing extremely close-up views of small birds, bugs, insects, and dragonflies becomes easier with the Trinovid 8×32 as it is equipped with an exceptionally short 3.3′ minimum focus distance.

Weight

The weight of the Leica 8×32 is approx 22 oz, which can be considered fairly lightweight.

The binocular feels compact and easy to carry around one’s neck in the outdoors.

Competition

Zeiss Conquest HD 8×32 poses a fair competition to the Leica Trinovid 8×32 HD. Both are available at almost the same price point.

Zeiss Conquest HD 8×32 has a field of view of 420ft, which is considerably large than the Trinovids 8×32. Also while our field tests, It was easier and quicker to focus with Conquest HD on moving targets.

Image sharpness of both the models are comparable, However, Trinovids 8×32 provides better contrast and shorter close focus distance.

Overall, both seem to be of nice and excellent optical quality
