From Vince in Oregon:
Great Compacts with Good Eye Relief!
Rating:5 (of 5)
I also have the Nikon 8x20 LX which is also nice but these are a different compromise. These Elites have more eye relief but are larger. Weight is about the same. These are quite a bit cheaper but less waterproof. I think these are as sharp as the Nikon LX though and the focus is very smooth with no slop.
I like these for when I am wearing sunglasses over my regular glasses and need max eye relief in a compact.
One thing I notice with these is that I can go straight to the focus without any hunting. This is usually the sign of a compact with good sharpness and contrast with no "funny stuff" going on.
Optically I rate these about equal to the Nikon 8x20 LX so it's all a matter of size, cost, etc. These are more comfortable with glasses but larger so take your pick. I like both.
