As I said before, I often choose to use my bins without eyeglasses, but in order to get the best out of them I need to use glasses these days so it really makes no sense to drop 2Kish on a bin without enough ER. It's a shame, but there it is.... sorry Chuck!
That was EXACTLY the reason I passed on the Leica 12X50 and went with the SV 12X50. It was a good decision. BARELY larger than a 42mm SV and very similar size to a SF 8X42. The SV 12X50 has proved itself to be the before companion to a nice 7X or 8X.
