I tried one of these for the first time today with several different plossls and a couple of Sieberts. Is it my perception, or do I lose a mm or two in eye relief? It seemed that I had to move my eye closer in order for the visible field to expand enough reach the field stop of the eyepiece.

Jim,
I know that TV says it does not increase the Eyerelief like a Barlow, but I did not know it reduced it.
