Where'd you go, stay put!
Well, to make a binocular fashion statement, decided to see how a set of green rubber eyecups would work on a black Habicht 8x30.
First, they weren't as hard to come by, by themselves, as thought. Swarovski North America actually keeps them in stock.
They add about 1mm, maybe 2, to the eye relief. So 12mm to maybe 14mm.
The big difference is the diameter.
So for me, the eye relief wasn't an issue to start with, but the extra mm or 2 did seem to be an improvement.
However, the bigger diameter and green rubber made a very big difference in how they matched / met with my eye socket / brow. Much more comfortable.
Bottom line, the green eyecups are staying.
My apologies for my camera seeming to make them look rather dusty. They really are taken better care of.
