Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steve C" data-source="post: 1581629" data-attributes="member: 56622">I had an e-mail discussion with someone over this issue.  He happened not to like the ZEN 7x36 because the eye cups were too close together to fit his wide nose, and couldn't get the IPD right for him.  So, on his request, I measured the distance between the eye cups at my 66mm IPD setting and found the eye cups of the Eaglet has about 4.5mm more space beween the inner eye cup diameters than the ZEN.  The Eaglet is not quite with the ZEN optically, but it is real close, and frankly if the Eaglet would have had the ZEN fov, I might have passed on the ZEN 7x36 and stayed with the 8x43.</blockquote>
