@Lee, Thanks for the explanation, that's exactly how I use them in real life π
What I was referring to, is that with the EL10X50 I got the feeling that I could roam around more easy in the full FOV without having blackouts when holding the bino's still. (For instance, astronomical use with a tripod.)
I have to say this is purely a subjective feeling, and unfortunately I can't compare it anymore because I have sold the EL10x50.
I have noticed that this
seems more difficult with the NL, but again, this is all subjective.
@Chosun The "Peekability" of the NL is fantastic, just like all other Swaro's that I have had (SLC8x42, EL8x32 and EL10x50) or looked through (almost all other models:king
I guess the extra comfort generated by a big EP has spoiled me over the years
Unfortunately I also can't make a direct comparison with for instance the EL8x32 (4mm EP) because I don't have it anymore.
Because all of the above had made me curious, I decided to do a quick exit pupil experiment π
I grabbed my ATX85 with 1.7x magnifier added in between, and came to the conclusion that the EP has got nothing to do with "roamability", and that the eye relief seems to be a bigger factor in this regard.
Even with 100x magnification (0.85mm EP) it was very easy to cover the whole FOV by taking a bit more eye relief.
Of course, the bigger EP makes eye placement more easy, and provides more comfort.
When dialing the magnification down to minimum, the "roamability" remained the same.
Just for shits and giggles, I had put the NL on top of the ATX to use as a support, and I really was blown away by the NL's image quality.
It is really growing on me the more I use it.
Really happy with it.
