Interesting 6x25 Reverse Porros (1 Viewer)

I stumbled across these today. New Viking Otter 6x25 reverse porros (not available yet)

£80 in UK, 8.6 degree FOV, 18mm eye relief, BaK4, Fully multi-coated. Weight 270g. Obvious attraction is the 4mm exit pupil in a pocket bin, but depth of field and FOV are interesting too. Might be just the thing when walking the dogs in the murky British winter.

You can get decent optical quality in reverse porros around the £80 mark; if these are even half-decent i expect they'll find a home in my collection. There's 8x25 with comparable specs too.

 
Yes, very interesting binocular. It's stated 18mm eye relief for 6x and 4mm exit pupil is great for such a compact binocular.
But no picture of the eyepiece lenses. The question is what the useful eye relief is.
