And eyecups too! Any suggestions? Binos in great shape but not so much the accessory items. These will be users for active family so durability is at a premium.

Thanks and best to all,
Jerry

I use 42mm objective covers from Swarovski on mine. I got them years ago. They fit perfectly. Not too tight and not to loose--go on and off easily and they have sturdy attachments to fit on the tubes so you won't lose them. Just be sure to anchor them behind the rubber objective guards on the front of the objective tubes so you won't pull them off when you remove the objective covers. Part # 643-952A.

I never had any problem with the eye cups cover Nikon supplied with it. It fits loosely but that is the way I like it to fit. I don't want it crushing the soft rubber eye cups it has.

Thanks Bob, that's very helpful. Sadly, I need the actual eyecups as well. Existing cups are sort of serrated so I'm hoping to replace them. Maybe bat wing models for the kids :>)

Best and thanks,
Jerry

field optics wings will fit on also. they won't give much eye relief, unfortunately, but will help with side glare.

we have butler creek covers on the objectives. a bit snug to get on and we've decided not to try removing them.
