Swaro, congrets. Very well done.By widening the incoming lightray they managed to inplant an "optical box" which causes no blackouts at the eyecups side. I say it wrong, but it results in a eye relief to 21mm. I know it is 16 but one can get closer or further away from the eye lens without experiencing blackouts.The dioptersetting is well hidden in the focusknob, like the SLC used to have, but now much more elegant. Swaro has brought a masterpiece, but....... with this piece of device, do I still need a 25 or even a 32SV?For me the answer is No. Where the former Companion IMHO was not a Swarovski worthy piece of optics, this little jewel is from another planet.Jan</blockquote>
