Solutions to eyepieces misting up?



Has anybody come up with a solution for eyepieces misting up - not internal fogging.

Whilst deer watching this is a problem for me, especialy if I have been walking for a while in dawn/dusk then need to study an animal with binoculars for a long length of time.

Had a pair of Bausch and Lomb elite 8x42 that didn't mist up as much as zeiss 7x42, interested in Leica 7x42BR, are these ok? Or are some makes more susceptable to others, guess its in the eyecup design as well as environmental conditions and heat from my face.

Thanks in advance.


i suffer from this also,i had to part with my beloved leica ba 8+32's because the eye relief was to short which caused misting in hot and cold conditions.i would think that you need something with as much eye relief as possible,also try folding/twisting down the eyecups to help with air circulation between your eyes and occular lenses.matt
