Upgrade a 1985 Leitz Trinovid 10x40B - 12/06/21
Question for the optics gurus. I have a Leitz Trinovid 10x40b that I purchased in about 1985. At the time, it was considered top tier, but of course a lot has changed in the last 35 years. I still use these binoculars and they still work pretty well for me, but I wonder what I'm missing out on in terms of currently available optics. I like the Leitz for their ergonomics, they're not too bulky or heavy, they're solidly built, and the glass quality itself is still pretty decent. They have been back to Leica once a few years back for new eye cups and general refurbishment. My question is, how much would I have to spend to get a binocular that significantly out performs my old Trinovids? I hear good things about Tract, and I was really tempted to buy the Vortex Razors that Cabela's had on sale for Black Friday. I would just like to know what is out there that is reasonably priced and will work as well or better than the old Trinovids I've been using.
