The method below has proved reliable for me and recently helped out one of the regulars on here.Here is the method I was shown by a gentleman from Zeiss and apologies to him for me not being able to recall his name.When you have unscrewed the eyecup to the top (non-spectacle position) and kept on screwing, eventually the eyecup is unscrewed and sitting in your hand. For the next bit refer to the pics below. The eyecup that you have in your hand is fully extended and the first step to fitting it back on the bins is to collapse it back down to its shortest length by sticking two fingers up the inside of the eyecup from the binoculars-end, that is the other end from the one you look through (Pic1). This is to hold still the inner component as you grip the eyecup rim (where it rests against your face) and screw it down. Now you have the eyecup in its shortest length (= the spectacle-wearer's position, Pic2) and you can offer it up to your FL/HT/SF (Pic3)and screw it down all the way (Pic4). Be only moderately firm while doing this, you are not trying to strangle it. Once it has bottomed out you can then adjust its height according to your needs.If Gary at Zeiss reads this and can improve on this method his advice would be gratefully received.Lee</blockquote>
