The Leitz 10x40B/BA is the most successful Leitz model, and this rubber armoured one the most sought after. The rubber armour enhances the durability and the comfort in the hand. It weighs only 600gms and, thanks to the unique Uppendahl prism system, is a very slim and compact design. The lenses and internal optics are great, and of the highest quality all clear.
Many regard these as perfect for birdwatching, nature observation and general purpose use. Just a few words about the Leitz Trinovid binoculars compared to the newer models known as Leica Trinovid. When E.Leitz changed the name of their Company to Leica Camera Company, for marketing reasons, in the late eighties, they set about redesigning their binocular range. The Trinovid binoculars became waterproof (submersible) instead of weatherproof. (Leitz actually specified their Leitz Trinovid binoculars as Climate proof, dust proof and spray-waterproof as opposed to the new specification of the Leica Trinovid as Waterproof, meaning submersible in water). The earlier Leitz models have true internal focusing mechanisms and are sealed against moisture ingress.
Leitz Trinovid models is escalating, and the prices are rising correspondingly, resulting in them now not only being the best binoculars to use but also a good investment for the future.
