Ergonomics of Canon 12x36is new
      #3434376 - 11/07/09 10:14 AM

Hello,
How is the depth of field, very narrow? How is the focus knob, smooth and low geared so its easy to reach focus? How are the oculars for non-glass wearers? Short eyerelief, tiresome for the eyes, critical eyeplacement?
Are the optics better or worse than a Nikon monarch?
Thats it ; )
Thankyou,
Carsten J

Hi Carsten:

I have a review of these on my web site that will help answer some of your questions, and a link to Canon's specifications for eye relief. I think you'll find it helpful.

Regards,
Gary
