It was just an annoying incompatibility that was caused by a combination of closely spaced, deep-set eyes, glasses, slightly too short ER and a large eyepiece diameter (which together affects maybe <1% of people). He switched to a fixed 30x eyepiece, got 2-3mm more ER and has been happy ever since.Looks like the Leica zoom has enough ER then. :t: Well, I would guess that they only have a very limited number of display samples, which may have been OK earlier, but some "unpolished edges" may have developed the problems in use. I am sure they would choose the best specimens if they knew what they were <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />.Best regards,Ilkka</blockquote>
