What do you with the eye piece covers when you are using the binoculars? Do you attach them in some way so you don't lose them?

You have to be careful if you are hunting in a brushy type area as they can be pulled off. I lost mine while turkey hunting this year. Vortex replaced them and suggested adding a rubber band around the ends to help secure them. I have just been taking them off.

The covers for the diopters do not have a place to secure to so i just leave them I'm the bag when I use them but the objective side has lens covers that flip off

Unfortunately, they do not have any way to attach them to safe keep them. I simply take them off prior to hitting the field and leave them in my vehicle or pockets. They lens covers are attached and simply flip down out of the way...but in all honesty there a pain, because they do on occasion get in the way, especially while bird watching. If you are using a harness strap, you'll find they keep the binoculars tight against the chest. Which will protect both the eye and lens. I do carry a $10 lens pen for emergency cleaning while in the field. Hopefully, this will help you.

I remove the objective end covers them. I kept them on, but I lost one on the objective end. Vortex sent me a replacement at no cost. so now I remove them when out birding. The ocular covers connect to the strap.

Yes, I had that very problem. I sent them back and received a new pair. I really like these binoculars.

They are for me. There are roll down rubber cups on the oculars that when folded down make use with glasses better, but not as good as without glasses. My solution has been to use a neck chain with my glasses. I just let them drop and hang around my neck while using the binoculars with my naked eyes.

If I understand your question correctly, the binoculars are water-resistant and do not fog up, at least in my experience.

Actually, I normally wear trifocals. I use the monocular without my glasses, no problem. If I leave my glasses on I can't get my eye close enough to the eye piece.

The thing to keep in mind about these is that they are compact. So the eye pieces are set wider than the view lenses. Turn them around.

Sorry about being so slow with this response. The message got caught in the old spam trap. My Monarchs are 12 X 35, and the big, or bottom lens cover is semi-permanently attached to the body of the binoculars, via a rubber ring. They can be removed by carefully slipping the rings off the tubes. The small, or top covers can be attached to the binocular neck, or harness strap. I use a binocover harness system, and thus I do not have the top covers on the glasses. Hope this message was helpful, even if it was slow. JK

If you are running a magnifier behind your optic, there may not be room to open and close the cover. Just leave it shut in that instance.

I think they should work just fine. There needs to be some kind of loop on the binoculars where straps will be attached.

The scope has a rubber surround for the eyepiece so your glasses won't get scratched but you will get a reduced field of view. This is the same for virtually every monocular or binoculars. I just prop my glasses up over the scope and enjoy the full field of view; focussing is not a problem.

I have never had an eyepiece come off inadvertently, but I can say the DK-21M seemed very tightly adherring when I installed it. I have since given the camera to my son and have not heard of any problems from him eitherr.

I confirm what Brandon states below. It is written according to the literature that came with the binoculars. It also states "as the unit does not have a perfectly sealed structure, it should not be operated or held I running water. Any moisture should be wiped off before adjusting movable parts (focusing knob, eyepiece, etc.) of these products to prevent damage and for safety reasons.I hope this is useful! I really enjoy mine!

It has not happened for me. It screws into place, it is not just plugged in. I use a Blackrapid harness, and the eyepiece has gotten snagged on my phone holster, camera case, clothing etc. and it has not fallen off. That being said, excessive force in that direction would likely be detrimental to the eyepiece, but again, mine has been snagged multiple times, and I have had no issues whatsoever.

You only need one diopter ring for one eye. When you focus the binoculars, you're focusing for both eyes, but then you use the diopter ring to compensate for the different vision in the one eye. The other eye gets the compensation from the overall focus. You tweak the main focus and the one diopter until both eyes are getting the same sharp image.

Wish I could help you but I wear contacts. No problem there. I've used binoculars when I had glasses and I know they can be focused to match your vision. But....how will a picture come out? I would be worried about that, but in all honesty that's a little over my head. Good luck.

Because telescopes and binoculars are focused manually, glasses are not needed when using either. To use both at the same time is like trying to wearing two pairs of glasses at the same time, which by the way does work if you need especially strong magnification. However, to better answer this question I did try wearing my glasses while using the binoculars at the same time. It worked but reduced my field of view. Seriously, you do not need glasses while using any binoculars.

I remove my glasses for all binoculars. I just adjust/focus the binoculars for what I need. These did well for my wife and I.
