A friend of mine found a store that has some brand new left over Leica Trinovid BN 10X42 for $1,000.00. He is trying to decide between them and some of last years Swaro SLC 10X42. I'm not sure which to recommend, I know you can't go wrong with Swarovskis but the Trinovids have such a great reputation. Any suggestions?
Here is a common recommendation, have him try before you buy. The late SLC NEU is
a step up on the Trinovid. Swaros. latest coatings are very good and this one should easily be brighter and may meet his needs better. Also the Swaro. has Swarobright di-electric prism coatings, and the older trins. are silver. The 10x needs this for the best in low light gathering.
There is nothing better than trying them out for yourself. When you spend $1,000
nowadays, you had better do your homework.
