Leica Trinovid 10x42 BA
Very well made with extremely good coatings.
Water proof for 5 meters.
Nitrogen filled for fog elimination.
Armor that you could'n scratch or destroy, I think.
Very high contrast.
The exit pupil is surrounded by absolutely darkness.
30 years warranty but a very high price.
It is only a 7 because I had some Problems with
mine:
It has a (we german say) pillow effect at the edge
of the giant FOV.
I looked inside the Objektiv Lenses an saw a
liquid (oil or so) inside at the Tube.
I see false colour . Not like a short fokal refraktor
perhaps a collimation problem.
Perhaps if you are not exactly on the optical axis
with your eyes this colour appears.
(left eye: left red, right blue. right eye: left blue and
right red. Or reversed, I don't remember.)
On one ofr the inner fokussing lenses I found
metal dust and dirt.
I took it to the dealer I buyed it and he send it
back to Leica.
I'm still waiting to hear from them (2 weeks)
Maybe I buyed a (we german say) monday item.

Greetings from Germany

excellent optics the only problem is the weight but thats what you get when you get quality optics. The colors are great, very sharp and tough as nails.

I bought a pair of 8x42BN because the 10x50s were a bit much for long hikes, even though I am huge.Excellent performance,very bright,exquisite color rendition,superior contrast.Not as sharp as my Leica 10x50s but what do you expect?This is why a 9 and not a 10.As far as 42s go...these are a 10.Superior for birding/wildlife use and compact astronomy use.I grab these first now.If its on the edge of seeing it,I grab the 10x50s!Fabulous binoculars.Worth the extra.

I think there is nothing on the whole planet that can
beat this thing.
I own the 10x42BN Version

Can't go wrong with these amazingly bright and clear binoculars. Would like to compare edge clarity with the Nikon Venturer LX.
