Wow!  Thanks for the mention of the twist up/down eye cups.  Somehow I 
missed those entirely and didn't know they were there.  Probably just 
assumed I knew how to use binoculars and didn't read the instructions. 
I put them up and realized that the problem with interpupillary distance 
was the lack of eyecups to properly position my eyes.  Now they work as 
easily as anything else I own.  Proper setting is almost instantaneous. 
They'll get a lot more use now.
Stupid Chuck
