I'm still looking help an old man out

Just keeping on to the top

I think......the winged eyecups you are referring to will only work with the earlier generation SLC's. They changed eyepieces and the type that extend will not work with the newer eyepieces.

I loved the winged eyecups on my 1st and 2nd generation 7x30 and 8x30 SLC's. When I had them updated they came back without winged eyecups. When I called Swaro and asked in 2010 they told me those were not available, only the newer style winged eyecups were available. I have the newer style on both binos now, but I taped them into position because I don't twist out the eyepiece.

Yes sir those are the ones I need.

After two years of trying to find them I thought after several phone calls and multiple emails I found the correct pair in England of all places.

$100 later and guess what. Wrong D@#$ pair. Stupid sales person (several) can't tell the difference until I sent them a screen shot of the correct pair that they show on their webpage and the rubber band junk that they charged me $100 with the international calling, international shipping, and the time it takes to talk to different salespeople explaining them the same thing over and over.

So after a long post I still need winged eyecups for a green pair of Swarovski SLC 10x42 binos.

Deakin,
I had a pair of 10X42 and ordered these. Worked perfect. https://www.swarovskioptik.com/hunting/winged-eyecup-set-c20040104/winged-eyecup-set-p5006108

Hey thanks mtstcon not what I wanted. I've seen these on a pair of EL's a buddy has. They work for a short time but get loose at least on his pair they did.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Swarovski has a few pair now. I contacted Optics4birding and what a great bunch of guys they have a pair on the way.

I'll modify the post if indeed they are correct.
