Hello everybody,
I will be soon testing a second-hand fieldscope and eventually buy it if everything is in working order.
Since caps are missing (front cap and 13x40 eyepiece cap), I'd like to know in advance what kind (and size) of caps I should be looking for.
Since I'm an eyeglasses wearer, is there a retractable eyecup to be fit to the EP?

Thank you very much,
Max

Hi, for the objective cover, you can use a normal 55mm camera lense cap.

Don't know the 13x40 eyepiece myself, but from the photo, it looks like fold down rubber eyecups (most MC eypieces have twist down eyecups)

The 13x30x MC eyepiece [#7] is the one that usually comes with a Nikon 50ED spotter, with fold down eyecups, the MCII is 13x40x [#8] in the ED 50 with push down eyecups.
