Hi Geoff,

If you don't need to wear glasses the eye relief on the ETHOS is excellent. I was able to easily take in the full 100deg FOV without my glasses on. Unfortunately it isn't for me as I prefer to wear my glasses when I observe and I prefer an AFOV around 70 degrees. The eye relief is just a tad short of being able to use it with glasses on and take in more than about 60 degrees AFOV. For those that don't need to wear glasses and like a wide AFOV the ETHOS is exceptional and worth every cent of its very high asking price IMO, if you own premium equipment. The eye relief on the ETHOS is slightly better than on the 13mm Nagler T6's.

Cheers
John B
