    Lovely. Taken through your scope with an adapter, or is a lens that long made for your Leica SL?

    I'm scratching my head at this because most of today's bins have too much ER for me as a non-spectacled person, often to the point that eyecups won't extend far enough to work -- and this seemed the obvious result of trying too hard to accommodate the escalating demands of eyeglass wearers. But...
