I've not really been following the world of optics for quite some time so was very surprised to find a new version of trinovid 7x35 available for pre-order.
As a great fan of 7x42 bins, I was very pleased to see this because I long for a lightweight, large exit pupil alternative. But these trinovid only have 15mm eye relief. I don't expect that to suit me as a spectacle wearer.
What a shame, I thought that my dream had come true and a quality, lightweight, wide angle, long ER binocular had appeared on the scene just as the 7x42 format breathes it's last.
I guess there's little hope of a high quality 7x35 now. I suspect Leica are hoping to sell these on a nostalgia ticket. If they weren't, they would have come up with a really up to date 7x35 design.
I am hoping that when I get to try them, they have enough ER, of course đŸ˜€
Has any one had he pleasure of checking these out yet?
