[QUOTE="henry link, post: 3370472, member: 6806"] Hi Frank, I'm sure there's not much space for larger prisms or eyepieces or focusing lenses in there now, but even when there was more space in the old Trinovid bodies it wasn't used. The FOV was the exactly same in the large BAs as it is now in the little Ultravids. My point is that the current Leicas were never "optimized for size and weight at the expense optical performance". The bodies came later and were adapted to already existing optics. Henry [/QUOTE]
