Need LARGE inner pupillary distance. Help! (1 Viewer)

[oublestar]

I've always had a big problem finding binoculars that spread wide enough apart for my eyes. I think I was measured between 77 and 78 mm. The only brand I have tried that spread far enough apart has been Leupold BX2's. I like the binoculars but was wondering if there were other brands that might spread wide enough for me.

Many specifications listed do not include the distance spread. Any help or opinions would be most appreciated!

Wow, that's the largest IPD I've ever heard of.

The Allbinos website reports "interpupilary distance," presumably measured, in its binocular reviews.

Scanning through a few reviews, I see some contenders for people with widely-set eyes:

Minox BL 8x52 BR: 79.9 mm

Nikon EDG 10x42: 78.8 mm

Nikon HG L 8x32: 78.6 mm

Nikon HG L 10x42: 78.1 mm

Bushnell Elite 10x43: 77.5 mm

Zeiss Victory FL 8x42: 77.3 mm

Add the ZEN Prime HD here, it goes out to 78mm.

If you let me know what size binocular and what type of price range you are shopping in, I can take some measurements and try to find some specific options for you. I have access to a vast selection models and a bit of free time today.

Just wanted to thank everyone for helping! Links and binocular suggestions were very informative. Oh and Ben, I'd like to stay under 500 but not opposed to going higher if worthwhile. Would like 10x42's or something close.

Yup, my one buddy calls me the human interferometer.|=)|

Oublestar - My recommendation may not be too helpful, but if you are willing to settle somewhat for an alternative until you find the model you want, there are outstanding IF models which have substantial IPD, enough to accommodate you.
