SF offered wide fov and new ergonomic development to tryand separate from SV and I think Leica is trying to separate  from the othertwo with its compact size and hopefully reduced weight.  Thank Athena they aren't makinga huge bin like SV and SF and are sticking with what they are known for.I could be totally wrong of course and I would rather see a mid-sized 32mm offered instead since I already have a great full size bin.But, the rumors are that this is a new top tier/alpha bin from Leica , so it's not going to be a 32mm Trinovidand most likely will be a 42mm "Little Owl" or whatever the actual model name is. But I do wonder when a 32mm Trinovid HD will come out. Maybe both the new model and a 32 Trinovid will be announced at the Bird Fair.  That would be a nice surprise.</blockquote>
