Well that is interesting.
The man in the shop was totally confident on this matter.
However the eyecup thingies *looked* identical
so much so that I did have a breif attempt but
I didnt seem to be able to unscrew them on the
EL 10x32s. Just possible that they were jammed on.
Lets hope so. Because if so that's pretty much
all my problems solved! (Apart from finances...)
Incidentally what happens if you put two of these
binocular boosters on - how well does that work
in practice?
