The reduced prices on the Trinovid's peaked my interest at $999 or so. I also saw a pair of Ultravid BR demo's for sale for $1,000. Can't seem to find out a lot of info on the BR's and what's it stand for.
Any input would be appreciated.

I believe the designations have something to do with the covering/armor. I know BL stands for leather. BR....? Rubber perhaps ?

Those Ultravid's, I think are going to be compacts.

If you are still interest in those Trinovid's they are now 899.99 at Cameraland while they last. They have two less as of this afternoon, I just could not pass up a deal like that.

Yep,I pulled the trigger on some trinovids as well, that $899 is quite a deal.

I saw that, thank you. I'm between them, a Swaro SLC and Geovid 8+12 x42 both on the fire. I'm calling those guys when I get back from Dubai on Thursday.

I believe that bl = black leather and br = black rubber ^^^ Correct.

The Ultravid BR's were the rubber coated bino just before they introduced the HD's. I paid $1,500.00 for my 8x42BRs right after the HD's were introduced. These were the last models that came with the Leica "Passport" lifetime no-fault warranty. They are still my favorite. Other than the HD they look identical to the BR, obviously the HD's have the improved coatings over the BR, but I really can't see any difference.
