Some years ago I decided to only have binoculars suitable for eyeglasses and sold my binoculars who couldn't provide this benefit. I have discovered it's necesserary for as well effective astronomy and birdwatching to have the possibility to instantly change from naked eye vision to the binocular and back again. This because of as well the time and position loss you get in the action to take off the eyeglasses. When using a spottingscope or an astronomical telescope it's another thing because they are mounted and you mostly don't use them for (fast) moving objects, but this is my experience for handheld binoculars.Regards, Patric</blockquote>
