Have a family memeber who wears glasses, has an astigmatism, and needs 20mm of eye relief for proper viewing through bins and scopes.
Their current pair of bins is a 10x32 Swaro EL Field Pro edition, which works very well for them and they love.
Looking to move to an 8/8.5x42 to get a larger exit pupil to reduce eye fatique during full days of viewing.
The balance shift of the new SFs is also very appealing in a full size binocular.
Can anyone with experience with both the SF and the Swaro EL Field Pro edition (with 20mm eye relief) speak to whether the SF's eye relief is really shorter than the Swaro EL? We know what the specs say in terms of eye relief.
In other words, is the eye relief actually the same but measured differently between the brands, or is there actually a 2mm difference in eye relief?
We have the option of ordering both to test, and send one back, but that does involve extra cost. If folks that have used them already know if the eye relief is different between the two that would help.
Thank you for your time and help.
