Message: <blockquote data-quote="ceasar" data-source="post: 1626997" data-attributes="member: 26155">It is an 8 x 20B T*.It fits in my shirt/jac pockets with room to spare and also fits well in most of my flannel shirt pockets but I wear XXL.  Eye relief is excellent.  I don't wear glasses but I have used them with Aviator type sun glasses without a problem.  Never had a blackout with them.  The eyecup is solid-pull it up, twist clockwise to lock it.  The Trinovid is pull-up only, no twist.  It's ER is shorter than the Victory.  It is an 8 x 20 BCA.  With both of them opened up to my IPD width (68-69mm) and eyecups down, the Victory is very slightly wider and taller. (difference is insignificant-a millimeter or 2)  With eye cups extended the Victory is visibly a few millimeters (3 or 4?) taller.I don't know if it (the Victory) has Dielectric Prisms.  I just checked it's spec sheet and couldn't find any info there.  Can you tell this from it's serial number? I note that I got them just this past March-I thought I had them longer because they are almost always with me.  The special sale price of $349.99 lasted only a day or so at Camera Land.  I was lucky to see it in time to buy one!The focus wheel is stiffer than the Trinovid's focus wheel and smaller and narrower.  In that respect, I like the Trinovid better.  Setting the diopter on the Trinovid is easier, it is bigger and is on a ring on the the objective end of the right barrel.  On the Victory it is located on the objective end of the hinge right next to the left objective housing.  It is a bit cramped there.  It's setting wheel, while smooth, is larger than the focusing wheel which has ridges.  I set it once and it has remained solidly set at my -1 diopter.Hope this helps,Bob</blockquote>
