I say 'best', with some licence, for we all know that choosing the right model is a very personal decision. My nomination for this model, however, derives from its superb performance in, what I would consider, all the important factors in binocular design - namely: build quality, size, ergonomics/handling and optical performance. I own and have owned a lot of top-drawer binos, review cameras for a living, so know something about optical equipment and am extremely impressed with this modern classic.
We all know the Trinovid 8x32 BN is not the latest model, but much is written about the compromises buyers make with more modern equivalents - the Leica Ultravid's clunky handling, the EL's ergonomics, the Nikon HG's build quality etc, for a start. All these newer rivals also sporting hefty price tags, when at that level of expenditure, compromise should be the last thing in our minds.
There, I've set the cat amongst the pigeons, what do you guys think?
Hello Timtagel,
I think that, as a class, those binoculars with FL, ED or HD glass, have such improved colour quality and contrast, that the BN, which I own, is obsolete. However, there are some features, which might endear this binocular to others, or there may some may be so constrained by price as to find the BN attractive. As you wrote, this is a personal matter.
Happy bird watching,

That's a tune I can dance to. Everyone has their preferences surely, but for me the 8x32 Trinovids are just right. I like everything about them and after trying new designs, I still marvel when I pick them up.
I'm convinced the demand for these will continue to grow and will be at the top of the list of classic binos to acquire.
It's a shame that Leica quit producing the 32mm BNs. Swarovski still produces SLCs for instance but maybe Leica was concerned they would cannibalize sales of the Ultravids. They probably would.
