The King Of 8x Power Eyepieces In A $500- 650 Price Range ? (1 Viewer)

Hi ... I have been in contact with another forum member regarding the Huge oculars of the 8x42 HD Mckliney, thought I would post these pictures of the much smaller 6x32 Vortex Viper seen next to the huge McKinley's so one can really see how big they are. The Vipers oculars may seem small in comparison but they too are larger then the average 8X bino's which also explains the easy view they give to the user. ..... gwen

Zowie!! That's big!

Me want some McKinleys... 8-P

I've always wondered if bigger oculars (the glass, not the eye cup) wouldn't make an easier to view image...

And by the way, eitan, congrats on 1000 posts! And from what I've seen good, informative ones, or good questions, not just posting for post count sake... :t:

Well...except for that last one ^^^

Gwen,

There is a relationship between eye lens diameter, AFOV and eye relief.
The exit pupil diameter also has a minor influence.
