I tried looking up the spout of my 8X EII but have no idea of what I'm seeing. Please help me with understanding my bins and the E series (wish list). This is focused on understanding possible mods to improve some nice classic porros.
First I'm planning replacement of the rain guard, happy with strap, and Bushwacker protectors for the 30mm barrels. The makeshift rubber armour makes sense from recommendations and close scrutiny of auction pics.
What internal systems are in place for controlling stray light? Do you consider they could be improved with some added mods?
Do they have blackened edges were possible, including prism?
They are eccentric ring adjusted for collimation. I understand this is a good thing?
Are the Es prone to bubbling or disintegrating covers as sometime reported with older bins. The EIIs are the black version so hopefully that works out.
Any other build issues that are not well recorded. Any Es I stumble on will automatically go for a precision CLA because it just makes sense, no ongoing hard grease or haze issues expected and a proper collimation.
