I just got a pair of 8.5x42 EL FieldPro (secondhand from astromart, what a deal for essentially new bins!). They are great, but I'm not clear on the strap options. I have both the "comfort strap" and the loop mounting lugs, but only one pair of the push-through pins. Are those pins removable? or am I basically committing to using the lugs or the strap? I didn't see pins as an accessory item on the swaro website.
I usually use backpack attachment straps so I can clip on the a backpack or camera sling, so I'll likely go w/ the loops, though it would be great if I could switch off to a strap now and then.
I guess one option is to pick one then order another of the other, but someone on B&H complained that the strap loop connector ($5/ea) do not include the push-through pin.
Thanks for any advice,
Marc
P.S. I have some Zeiss HT 10x42 and while I've not used them side-by-side yet, the ELs look sharper and a bit more spectacular. I'll take them both out later today. I do like the clicking diopter adjustment on the ELs better than the stiff knob on the HTs.
