... It is tight, so forget glasses. It doesn't bother me much though. This EP has excellent contrast and sharpness across the whole field. Perfect with Shorty...
He's young, so eye relief should be no problem. It's just that the object moves thru the field so fast. I see Scopestuff has a polarizing filter - how good is...
