Summary: Most practical binoculars you can own
Review: I got the Leica Trinovid 8x20's as a graduation present back when I was very much into birding, and they are easily the best pair of binoculars I've ever owned. It replaced a set of very large, very heavy, very cheap binoculars, and the results have been spectacular. If you've never owned or used a Leica product, you should realize that Leica distinguishes itself as a manufacturer of quality lens products, from microscopes to cameras. The Trinovids are no exception. The 8x20's are billed as 'sport' binoculars, but they can find a home doing most anything. They are small enough that they can be used most anywhere. I've taken them to sporting events, as advertised, but I've used them for birding as well, with fantastic results. The best selling point is Leica quality but compact size. It folds up and is extremely portable, but is able to resolve with the best of them. The shortcoming of small binoculars is usually that it is difficult to hold steady, but with a wide field of view and excellent craftsmanship, I've had no troubles. This is one of the cheaper Leica binoculars available, but make no mistake, it is still Leica quality, and if you're serious about having a small, functional, portable, high quality pair of binoculars, you should definitely consider this set.
