I bought a 9mm Orion EP that gives a 66 degree FOV. I also bought a 14mm ED EP with a 'new' scope that I bought second hand. Both have a very comfortable eye relief but I am finding that it is too much. If I look into the EP (either one) and my head is not properly aligned with the EP I get a dark blank view until I move my face around and get some of the view. Otherwise I need to move my head and eyes around the perimiter of the EP to get to see the whole picture. I would have thought that at my venerable age the higher the eye relief the more comfortable it would be for me. So I asked others when I got a chance (very isolated in St Helens) and the younger folk said that they too needed to look around the edge of the view to see it all!
If I pull my face away from the eyecup I, naturally, get to see only a small amount of the view. Yet if I push my face into the eyecup I don't get to see much either!
I would be interested to hear of other members' take on this issue and if they are also affected the same way. And if there is an answer or explanation I would be happy to hear it.
I sense that if the rubber eyecup was a couple of mms longer then it would be more comfortable not only for viewing but would facilitate a better view.
Any ideas!
Cheers!
Popeye
But it is for a FOV of 66 degrees and from memory the ER is at least 20mm, probably to do with the wide FOV in a 1.25" EP. Its the first time that I have used an EP with this type of ER.
