I don't really know.Most modern binoculars have too much eye relief for me and the eyecups are generally a little short.This causes annoying blackouts with some binoculars.The 18x50 IS eyecups are beautifully soft after more than 15 years.It seems we all vary in what we need from a binocular.</blockquote>
