Bought meostar hd 10x42 some years back at a deal and stuck them on amazon not long ago as i was able to almost get what i paid for em. I had bought the 8x32 cabelas euro hd on clearance and figured those would suffice and i like the smaller package but i do feel the 10x42 was slightly brighter and im not liking these tiny eyecups on my 8x32. Is there a fix for the eyecups as in some sort of attachment? If i dont jam these into my eye sockets all kinds of light comes in the sides

That's the only reason I got rid of my 8x32's....eyecups way too small for me. Superb optics though.

Same here I had the Meostar 8 X 32’s and liked the view, but could not deal with the tiny eyecups. The eyecups made it tough to focus as you couldn’t brace the binos against your forehead. I got the Kowa 8 x 33 prominars. Better view great binos.

Eyecups didn't work for me either. I really like the Conquest 8x32 in that price range

Nothing. I must have a weird face because I've had a heck of a time finding an 8x32 that fit. Eye relief being too short is the usual culprit. The ergos of the Leupold Mohave 8x32 fit me the best so that's what I have in that configuration. They are very good, but not Meostar good. The 8x42's always fit me better.

must be and individual thing. I think the 8x32's fit my eyes great. while I don't use them often, I am not getting rid of my 8x32's anytime soon.
