I have tired of cleaning eyelash grease from the eyepiece of my set of habicht 8x30 W binoculars. I have also found the eye cups to be too narrow. This appears to be a common problem. As suggested in https://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=318770 and other threads, swapping over with the green rubber eye cups from the habicht 10x40 can solve the problem.
My question: Are the fitted eye cups on the 8x30 W easy to remove by simply unscrewing them from the binoculars? My first tentative attempt to remove them found them to be held firmly and I didn’t want to force the issue for fear damaging this fine set of binoculars.
