Regarding the eye relief, has anybody watched the promo video? They look like push up/down eyecups which are very closely profiled to the ocular glass - https://en.leica-camera.com/Sport-Optics/Leica-Birding/Binoculars/Leica-Trinovid2/Trinovid-Videos pause it at 26 seconds and you will see what I mean.
Out of my price range, but the 7x35BL is severely tempting - sadly I've just blown the last of my binocular budget on a pair of 8x32's. Good on Leica for bringing out a pair in this configuration. 150m fov and 550 grams, sounds like the ideal rainforest bin.
If the optics have been updated I think this could be popular, a lot of my birding mates who are now in their 50's have said that they are almost certainly going to get a pair for nostalgia's sake, relive the heydays of the 1980's on the Scillies.
Oops, just seen they are click-stop, ignore my comment about the eyecup design - its a nice update though!
