I have pairs of matched Harry Siebert eyepieces which yield approx. 35X & 65X magnification, but Siebert's 11mm eyepieces- with which I had hoped to work at 88X won't focus in them due to their design. I am looking for recommendations if anybody has ever worked with these binoculars for other eyepieces that will yield 88-90X magnification & work well in these. Anyone have experience with these Vixens? Thanks in advance for any advice. -------------------- Wes Atlantic Beach, FL Some bino’s from Miyauchi 5x32 Binon's up through Garrett 20x110 Signature's, Some telescopes from a Stellarvue 80mm NHNG up through a couple of 8” reflectors… And a wonderful 4.25" Delmarva Shiefspiegler!
