Description: Vintage Leica/Leitz Trinovid Binoculars. These are very small, yet very powerful 10x40 binoculars. The small size is due to the unique Oppendahl prism. There are a few mars in the finish, but otherwise they are in excellent condition with clean, clear optics. Original straps with the custom clips are in excellent condition, as if they were hardly used. Weight 21 ozSerial No. 716874 See the review of these vintage binoculars from the ever-effusive Ken Rockwell. "These first TRINOVIDs are simply astounding. They offer a premium level of performance and a slightly larger image with only 2/3 the size and weight of today's top binoculars, for about one-quarter the price — if you can find them.Leica accomplished this performance by using an exotic, unique and expensive Uppendahl prism system. Leica stopped using this Uppendahl system in favor of the cheaper-to-manufacture roof prisms used today."
