As I have written elsewhere in this forum, I am a happy owner of the new Zeiss SF 10x32. I think they are perfect, apart from ... the eyepiece caps. The new Zeiss caps might be good compared to other modern caps, but I really long for the older Zeiss caps. Those were a bit broader than the eyepiece and sat loosely, and they were quite heavy. Thus they fell off the eyepiece by themselves when you put the binoculars to your eyes, and they fell back on the eyepiece by themselves when you took the binoculars off your eyes. It seems that the modern caps of all brands are built much more flimsy, probably to save weight, and sit so exactly on the eyepiece that you have to fix them by hand to the eyepiece. I would really like to carry a little extra weight and have solid caps for it!
I searched a while and found a German product called "gft regenschutzdeckel", but they are too small for most binoculars I own. Also the old Zeiss eyepiece caps are too small for the new SF. Does anyone have any idea where one could get solid caps in old style for new binoculars?
