Hi Kestrel,
The caption in Finnish is no help:
‘Ola and Kristoffer hunted deer this weekend in spectacular terrain. Several deer snuck into the Meopta binoculars, but unfortunately only the wrong variety’
Enlarging the image and opening the shadows, it appears to have a module under the barrel(s)
If so, it’s likely to be a rangefinder with the electronics located under the barrels, as is the case with the Swarovski EL Range and the Kahles Helia
Meopta already has two RF models, the MeoRange and the MeoPro Optika, neither of which use this approach
Gijs has tested various rangefinders, and for a quick summary see post #19 at:

What’s most notable optically, is that only the Swarovski has the high and even transmission across the visible spectrum, from both barrels,
that we expect from conventional binoculars
In contrast, others such as the 1st generation Zeiss, the 2nd and 3rd gen Leica’s and the MeoRange, all have weirdly shaped transmission curves that differ between barrels
Presumedly this is an unavoidable consequence of the implementation of the RF function in the various models
So it would seem that Meopta is exploring how to achieve better transmission
And you’d hope that the large high-contrast logo is not got going to be a feature of future Meopta models!
