I've just recently started using contact lenses so I can use a lot more bins and get the full fov now. I only ever used the Elites with glasses on so I'd really like to try some now and get the full effect.Thanks for the specs. Very interesting- 7.3 degree fov very wide for 9x. Gives 65.7 afov. Great to see the pic too.Having been inspired by the Minerva, today I bought a pair of SRGA 8x32s (also inspired by the fact that Brinley best rates them very highly). Haven't been able to try them out as it was getting dark when I bought them. Probably wont use them til after Christmas now so I'll post on them in a week or more.I'd love to get hold of another pair of Elites to make up a set of Opticron small porros. There's just something about them. Binocuholism has set in bigtime :eek!:I recently tried Nikon SEs and EIIs but couldn't get on with their eyepieces and eye-relief. I like the small eye pieces of the Opticrons though, they fit my face really well.Thanks,Martin.</blockquote>
