[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1653052, member: 103303"] Hey Russ, Thanks for chiming in on the Fuji's. For me they are "good enough" most of the time. Obviously they are no 85mm spotter, but the contrast is pretty good. Trying to stay in the eyebox is tenuous in low light for sure. Glassing at dusk is fatigue inducing, but for me it's a struggle no matter what the optic! To me a bigger exit pupil just means a comfier eyebox... Usually animals are on the move at that time and are easier to pick out. The TS1440's even work pretty well at night under a good moon - a stable image is way more important than a generous eyebox to me. It's a compromise for sure, but in retrospect, perhaps having a smooth, stable image makes the small exit pupil a lot easier to deal with? Optics are a really personal thing, I think many of us have different needs and expectations. For me it's been a great way of simplifying my kit and trimming down some weight. As for your second hypothetical, no contest EL 12x50 for the FOV alone! [/QUOTE]
