Zeiss SFL 8x40 Eyecup Stray light issue!
I found the straps way too long on the included neck strap so I cut them around the time I purchased the SFL's. I prefer the binoculars to be really close to my neck-- I figured nobody would want the straps cut so short. I guess someone might still want them? I think I will knock the price down... -

Zeiss SFL 8x40 Eyecup Stray light issue!

Zeiss SFL 8x40 Eyecup Stray light issue!
You are correct, I do not wear glasses. I can jam the SFL’s into my eye sockets but even if I do there are sections on the sides of my eyes where light enters. The M7’s I cannot rest against my face at all. I have to hover them away from the face which was terribly annoying but for whatever... -
Zeiss SFL 8x40 Eyecup Stray light issue!
Hi all, My name is Will and this is my first time posting to Birdforum. After seeing glowing reviews of the Zeiss SFL on this site I decided to purchase them back in October. It has been a fantastic binocular except for one issue. There is an incredible amount of light/ distracting reflections...
