Re: Fuji OEM winged eye-cups for FMT-SX models?
      10/16/09 02:34 AM

I seem to recall that winged eyecups were supplied stock with the the 1970's and '80s Fuji Meibo MT and MT-SX 7 x 50 and/or 10 x 70, (? timeline and nomenclature memory is blurred) in the pre-F era, but that nose relief was a problem, and they were somewhat hard.

Incidentally, the F eyerelief followed a suggestion by me, to match the eye relief of the Zeiss 7 x 50B/GA, which was highly regarded by swordfishermen. But many of those Zeiss cracked at a weak point in one of the hinge lugs. The dies were changed to fix that problem. They should have just copied some of the WW II 8 x 60 .
