Anybody have quick access to comparative eye relief data on the top 8x20's? Nikon is 15mm, I believe Swaro is 13 or 14, but I can't seem to get an answer on the Leica Trinovids or the Zeiss Victory. I've looked through the Leicas and I'm guessing around 14, but I can't find the info on their website or on any of the ads at retail sites.
Thanx,
Bill

Bill: You'd do best to try them yourself or hope owners can pass on measured values as manufacturers differ in how they measure eye relief i.e. from the rear optical surface or from the rear most point of the binocular with the eye tubes down. The latter is the relevant figure IMO.
Thanks, Leif, interesting point. Unfortunately I will be hard-pressed to try them all around here. I have tried the Leicas, and they seemed fine (I wear glasses). But no one stocks the other brands in my area.
Best,
Bill
