Does anyone use a Nikon Fieldscope 82 mm AN ED with the fixed DS eyepieces? I’ve looked at Leica, Swarovski, and Zeiss zooms and all leave me begging for more eye relief. At this point, I’m considering a scope with fixed magnification eyepieces.
I own a Nikon SE and the fold down rubber eyecups suit me just fine, since I always keep them folded down! The DS eyecups come with great eye relief along with rubber eyecups for normal viewing. If the eyecups on the DS eyepieces are the same as the SE’s they should offer comfortable eye relief.
I understand many would not want to change eyepieces in the field, but I’m just not happy with what I see in the zooms. To those who enjoy them, count your blessings.
If you use the Nikon DS eyepieces for regular viewing, I’d love to hear your opinions. I’m also considering the Swarovski 80ED with 30X and 45X fixed eyepieces.
