Simply because the great majority of rainguards supplied nowadays don't work all that well for me, so I normally use an old Zeiss rubber rainguard originally made for the Zeiss Dialyt. Or I'd make one myself from leather because the Zeiss rubber rainguard is probably a bit big for such a small binocular.That's a valid point, of course. One of the 7x35s I tried many years ago had hard eyecups, so these must have been available as well at some stage. Anyway, making rubber eyecups in different lengths shouldn't really pose insurmountable problems to Leica.By the way, do you by any chance know much eyerelief the 7x35 had? I can't find any reference to that anymore, I only remember it was more than the Trinovid 10x40 had.Hermann</blockquote>
