A pair of Trinovid BNC 10 X 25 binocs was our introduction to Leica. On a flight home from Asia the in-flight magazine mentioned high-end compact binocs, and we were pleasently surprised to find the Leica & Zeiss to be priced within reason. We tried both at a fine shop, bought the Leicas (they made our compact Nikons seem like toys by comparison), and then the continual big spending (cameras & lenses) came next.
