In the woods today while sitting and looking for an owl I found that Zeiss Victory 8x20 in my coat pocket. I then noticed that they fit very well inside the eye-cups (in the extended position) of my SteinerXP 8x44.
Amazingly I could focus them but the range was very narrow and extremely shakey. I guess this setup would be 16x, do you add the magnification when combined? It is virtually unusable, unless maybe if you had a tripod.
OK bins experts what about a real low powered bin like the Zeiss Diadem which I think are 3x. I have never seen a pair except in catalogs. If they fit into the eye-cups would it be 11x and possibly not too shakey. Does anyone have a pair of these to try. I like the idea of adding extra power to both barrels kind of like a 'poor boys' Leica Duovid . Would this work?
