The eyeguard extender for the 35mm Panoptic whether available or not is academic because none of the people I know who own one, have the extender fitted. I can't see myself buying one to use with my friends eyepieces, when clearly my 31mm Nagler is a better eyepiece anyway. Consequently, I find the eye relief excessive and you really need to concentrate when using it to avoid blackouts. It is clearly IMO much harder to use than the Pentax XW's, which have a totally progressive eye relief adjustment that you don't have to buy as an afterthought and extra.

Simply making you aware of solutions.
Personally I have never had blackout or eye placement issues with either 35mm or 41mm Panoptics in their native form (no extension) and I do not wear glasses.
