Excited to hear of the "new" Trinovids, I had me a look.
hmm... they look a lot like Uvids.
The strap boss looks Trinovid, and uh, that's about it. They really are Ultravids (non HD), re-badged.
Too bad too as they (Leica) don't seem to understand what's at the core of love for the brick. It's the shape. That "shelf" on the top of real Trinnies, I think, is what lends to their handling. The fingers rest in the grip of the bins at the same time positioned to focus. The built up armor around the focus wheel also adds protection and the sense of stoutness.
I'd accept another couple of ounces for the old design.
