Hi
I recently acquired a pair of HGs and am very pleased with them, only real negative is the plastic rain guard which is so loose that it falls off. I like winged eye cups and have them fitted to Leica Ultravid 10x42 and Swift Audubon 8.5x44.
I tried the Leica eyecups on the Nikons and they worked after a fashion, the eyecups on the Nikon are deeper than those of the Leica and the Leica eyecups have a moulded ridge that sits neatly below the standard caps of the Ultravids but sits halfway down the caps on the Nikon. However, with the extra caps fitted on the Nikon the rain guard no longer falls off, but I would prefer a softer, more flexible rain guard.
Has anyone tried the Swaro winged eyecup/rain guard combo on a Nikon, or the Avian Field Optics winged cups?
