    Wondering about Ultravids, esp. 12x50...

    I think the Ultravid series (for me, that is) has the least wiggle room between great and mediocre viewing experience. With glasses (which I use all the time) I struggle at times with the 7x42 UVHD+. I am between stops on the eye pieces which in itself is not a problem but I find that the out...

    Oh, it seems we have similar eye cup issues. I am not sure you would like the 12x50 then. If you are saying the older Trinovids are better it makes me curious to try one out some day. I am not entirely happy with the 7x42 uvhd eye cups. But, since I now have a smooth focuser I am coping...

    I am very fond of the Ultravids. The exception being the 12x50. I find the balance a bit off and the shape does not help with that. Add the short eye relief on top of that and it is simply not working for me. First time I tried one out was before I had glasses and I was used to "long handheld...
