My beloved is in love......with her Leica Trinovid 7x35's (2 Viewers)

Good luck on the eyecups and positioning, hopefully there is a chance to adapt with it given some practice.

Leica really made something special with these Retrovids.

Does anyone know, is the eyecup's inner diameter larger on the 40mm objective model? I never took measurements myself but now I am curious about that.

Edit: just checked, they are all about 25mm ID on the cups. About 21mm eyepiece diameter.

Just wanted to share a slightly unconventional case idea for those with the 7x35. While I do like the OEM leather pouch, it does not offer much protection from bumps. Here is what I am using.




For some time Delta was issuing Tumi cases. Nice and sturdy, the Leica's fit very snuggly within the lined hardshell. They came with a blank embossable leather ID spot, which a Tumi store will add up to 3 (or 4?) letters for free.

If you happen to have one, it's a nice option. If not, these can be found online for $10-20 USD.
