[QUOTE="ceasar, post: 3291020, member: 26155"] Yes Ed, I was talking about the EII primarily because of its wide FOV along with its ability to be used by someone with a narrow IPD. I figured that Charley would get a much wider FOV using the EII with his glasses than he would get by using an SE so I didn't suggest the SE to him. When you noted that the EII's ER was too short to use it properly with glasses I started over. Then Arthur informed me of the IPD range of the Zeiss FLs. I looked into the IPDs of the Zeiss binoculars and it now seems to me that the Zeiss Conquests are his best alternative. As for Nikon, I did real well with them on the exchange of my 10x32 EDG I for a 10x32 EDGII but I really had no choice in the matter. That is what they decided to do. In that case it was alright with me. But with an 8x30 EII it is a different story and I don't want them to make that decision for me. Cheers, Bob [/QUOTE]
