Thelma Spalding (2014.07.01)

Then how can I put it forward? Eye relief of 31 mm is specified as a fixed value and I didn't find any information on how to change position of the eyecup. I can't see it on images either.

Customer service:

You would not need to put the eyecup forward when using this eyepiece.

Thelma Spalding (2014.06.30)

Eye relief 31 mm - does it mean that an eye should be at 3 cm distance from the eyepiece? And eyecup is about 1 cm, so the eye is 2 cm away. Quoting the description: "Levenhuk Plossl is also fitted with a soft rubber eyecup that blocks most light rays coming from the sides during observations and provides for maximum comfort". Maybe this eyecup is telescopic? Or is it not suitable for those who don't wear glasses?

Customer service:

The Levenhuk Plossl 40 mm eyepiece has rubber eyecup but it's not telescopic. This eyepiece is suitable for people who wear glasses and those who don't.
