    Does extending eyecups out reduce FOV?

    I can concur that I experience the same loss of field of view by extending the eyecups. I don't wear glasses, and prefer having the eyecups down, placed against my brow, and stabilized with the index finger of my left hand, holding the binoculars, pressed against my forehead. The edge of the...

    Help with loose focuser wheel on a Svbony SV202 8x42

    So after further investigation this afternoon, with phone camera and light, it turns out that the focuser wheel has a machined metal cap that covers two tiny screws that holds the wheel in place. This metal cap can be popped off from from the wheel by approaching if from the objective side. The...

    Entry/Test 8x32 binoculars

    I don't have the dough to buy the bigger top Alpha bins, but do own the smaller Leica Ultravid 8x20, Swarovski Curio 7x21, and in the 8x32 range, the Leica Trinovid, Zeiss Conquest, and Nikon Eii 8x30. I like the 8x32's because I spend a lot of time glassing, and the 8x42's are just a bit heavy...
