    Let’s talk about eyecups (comfort, dimensions, preferences, etc.)

    More on eyecup diameter, in case it's of any help. Lately I've been using... and actually enjoying very much, the Nikon Travelite EX 8x25 (also known as Prostaff ATB). It is such an understated bino. Rugged, waterproof, armoured, and yet very affordable. The only downside for me (as I mentioned...

    Let’s talk about eyecups (comfort, dimensions, preferences, etc.)

    Well, I'm talking only about my personal experience. I've read experiences from other forum members and they seem to be happy with them. In my case, I can appreciate the incredible design of the Leica, its awesome optics and the sheer quality that it oozes. However, when in use, the whole...

Can you actually tell they're more difficult to use due to you being left-handed? Or that right-handed have any...

    Let’s talk about eyecups (comfort, dimensions, preferences, etc.)

    Yes, it's true, I totally forgot about that one. I guess that came as a solution to an unexpected problem (blackouts complains from many users). Yes, that's what I meant, sorry if it wasn't clear. I don't think Swarovski intended to provide the Habicht with two different widths of eyecups, but...

    Let’s talk about eyecups (comfort, dimensions, preferences, etc.)

    Let’s talk about eyecups (comfort, dimensions, preferences, etc.) When reading binoculars reviews and experiences you hear a lot about the optical performance of a certain device and also about its physical aspect: usually the dimensions and in particular how the focus wheel works (whether it’s...
