But Bushnell appearantly has some QC problems with this item. The right eyecup extended about 1/16" longer than the left. Plus, the specs state 17mm of eye relief. The left eyecup extended only 14mm - I had to hold the bins about 1/8" away from my eyes to see the entire field. Otherwise, I would see a noticeable shadow (or kidney-bean effect) in the eyepiece. This is without glasses. They may work just fine with glasses. The view with the ED glass is certainly one of the best at this price point. But without a clear view, I returned them for a refund. There was a recent review here on the Bushnell Excursions. They exhibited the same problem. Someone on this forum seemed to feel these were esentially the same bin - but with ED glass.</blockquote>
