Need some help please - eyecups fit
I got not long ago a new pair of Leupold Mojave 8x32. They are great, handling, brightness, sharp focus, size. I Highly recommend them.
However I have a little issue. The rubber eyecups I measured the inside diameter is about 25mm. They are somewhat uncomfortable. There is too much light from the side more so than I would like and the eyelashes keep touching inside the eyecups. They are still useable, as I used them a few times and they are almost as good as the Zeiss, is just that they are sensitive to eye position and feels like somewhat uncomfortable, not bad but still.
I have now realized why I like the Zeiss 8x32 FL so much. The inside diameter of the eyecups I measured is about 32mm so they are really comfortable. I have been using the Zeiss for a while and I could not figured out when I initially bought them why I liked them so much. Not until I got the Mojave to compare with. Now I know they provide enough space to the eyes. The Zeiss fit very well, more room to work with.
I am guessing this is/could be a general issue with smaller 32mm binos.
I hope you guys are trying to understand what I am trying to describe. At this point I do not know if to keep the Mojave or not ? Like I said Mojave are a great binos, when I put the Zeiss to my eyes they fell great, the Mojave it takes some adjusting.
Has anyone come across this situation before ? Looking for some input on this and personal experience. Appreciated.
