Porro prisms & eye glasses (1 Viewer)

I do not have any experience in using (modern) porro prism binoculars, but what I experience is my growing interest in them ;).

However, I’m a spectacles wearer, and I wonder whether there are any models with a long enough eye relief to allow for a comfortable view with glasses.

I would much appreciate it if a knowledgable forum member could sum up the status quo and list the possible candidates, if existing.

My birding glass is a Nikon 8x32 SE. The glass is fabulous optically and mechanically. It also has a 17.4 mm eye relief. :cat:

Once again you demonstrate your keen appreciation for not only the classical but the truly functional. Welcome back! :t:
