Editorial Reviews:

A versatile binocular with a field of view of 114 m and a close focus of 3 m. A steady image due to the 8 x magnification. When folded, it is just 9 x 6 cm small. The light way to get a close-up on the world, the LEICA TRINOVID 8 x 20 BCA. Thanks to its double hinge it becomes very small and easily fits into almost any pocket. It can then be quickly used when something interesting presents itself.

Conclusion: Leica's compact 8 X 20 isn't close to the competition's
Review: This is an old, time-tested design from Leica, but one which isn't nearly as robust or as bright as some of its competition, most notably, Swarovski, and especially, Zeiss. I have handled this binocular and found that it isn't nearly as bright as my Zeiss Victory Compact 8 x 20, nor is it as rugged. Ideally, this Leica binocular works best as a glorified concert opera glass, yet it lacks the brightness and contrast I've seen in its Zeiss competitor. If you are eager to acquire a binocular in this class, I would recommend taking a closer look at both the Swarovski and Zeiss equivalents, before setting your sights on this Leica compact.
