Right but 82 degree fov I get blackout. I tried that with the Luminos.

 

Is the X-Cell 9mm is really 9mm or it more like 9.5mm or 8.5mm ? 

 

Because I was told the X-cell 7mm is actually 6.5mm

Did you try the Televue Delite line ?

They offer 62⁰ and a very comfortable experience.

The 9mm is 9mm.

Remember, you are viewing with glasses. It isn’t so much Luminos bad, ES 62 maybe good. You have to watch the eye relief. Luminos don’t have enough eye relief for glasses. The 5.5 ES 62 barely has more eye relief. But the other ES 62s have more eye relief, and the longer focal lengths even have enough for glasses. Looking for narrower AFOV might help, but first of all, look for 17mm or more eye relief.
