[QUOTE="Kevin Purcell, post: 1397999, member: 68323"] Yeap, Kevin Mc, I agree. For some reason the SW are more fiddley than I like especially with my more myopic right eye. I also find the ER is a bit too much for my glasses (blackouts with the eyecups fully down). There are claims of 4 position eyecups but AFAICT this has two reall positions (locked up and locked down) and not locked down and up. The not locked down position is best for me (taking up a couple mm of ER). But I think I need O-rings to set the preferred height. They do have stops on the hinge though so you can approximate a single hinge by opening one side fully out and setting the IPD with the other. And as I'm complaing ... the case is upright belt mount and rather too tight a grip on the bins. Just a bit looser would be nice. They're not great for the quick draw (which is sort of why I have them). Though they do seem to have loosend a bit so perhaps they'll just wear in. Oh, and the focuser seems stiffer than I'd like. But yes it's the bin you have with you that counts. And the view is not bad. [/QUOTE]
