Ed,
Measured the length of the 22x70's to be 15 7/8" with the eye cups rolled down. The eye lens was recessed ~3/8" and the edge of the objective was recessed 7/8" with the dew shields retracted. That leaves ~ 14 5/8" from end to end. With the eye cups and dew shields extended the total length is 18 3/4". The focal length should be ~ 16.5". I'm guessing 20mm FL (0.8")eyepieces. Do you think the prisms path can account for the ~ 2.7" difference? Still seems pretty close to f/6.
