Leica Trinovid 8x40

Leica Trinovid Classic 8x40: Apollo 11 design with HDC® AquaDura® optics and 5 mm exit pupil

The Leica Trinovid Classic 8x40 is the universal model of the Trinovid Classic range: 8x with a 40 mm objective, aluminium chassis in classic black leather. The 8x40 format delivers the optimal balance of field of view, image stability and light gathering — making it the all-round Classic model of the range for every use case: from country walks to regattas, concerts to crepuscular birdwatching. The 5 mm exit pupil — the largest in the Trinovid Classic 40 mm series — delivers bright and comfortable images even in variable lighting conditions, with a twilight factor of 17.9. Like all Trinovid Classic models, the design takes inspiration from the Leica binoculars of the 1960s that accompanied the Apollo 11 mission, now updated with 21st-century optical technology.

5 mm exit pupil: the highest luminous flux in the Trinovid Classic 40 series

In the Trinovid Classic 40 mm series, exit pupil scales with magnification: 5.0 mm for the 8x, 4.0 mm for the 10x. The 8x40 is therefore the model with the highest luminous flux per eye in the range, with direct benefits in low-light conditions. The HDC® multi-layer coating maximises light transmission on all surfaces; the AquaDura® outer lens coating provides hydrophobic and oleophobic protection. The Schmidt-Pechan prism system delivers chromatic fidelity and sharpness across the full field of view.

With a real field of view of 6.9° (120 m at 1,000 m), the Trinovid 8x40 offers a wide panorama for its format: ideal for tracking moving subjects and rapid target acquisition.
