OT- extra eye releif binocs

rezman · December 18, 2000, 11:24 PM

A question for the RKI's of this board. Thinking about asking Santa for some new binocs. I stumbled across a set of Swarovski's. Beautiful but at almost $1,000 bucks, much too rich for my workingmans blood. The feature I liked most was the eye releif adjustment, these had screw up/down eyecups. As an eyeglass wearer, none of my other binocs with the fold down rubber eyecups can hold a candle to field of view I had with the Swarovski. My question, do you guys know of any other manufacturer that uses this system? Any recommendations for a set of glass that are decent quality 8 or 10 power for $300 or so? TIA.
