I have a set of 8x42 NL Pure binos and I was wondering if anyone else that has a pair can comoare the behavior of their focus wheel is similar to mine. I'm going to do my best to explain. If it matters my diopter setting is about -0.75.
When I focus on something 100yards away it takes a very small amount of movement of the focus wheel to focus on something about 2500 yards away. The rotation is about 1.5 or 2 "ribs" of the wheel grip knurling to change that focus distance. From there that leave only about 1/4 of a turn of rotation clockwise before I hit the hard stop and can't turn clockwise anymore. Now from my 100 yard focus postion I have about 1 and 1/4 turn counter clockwise to the hard stop.
That 1/4 vs 1 & 1/4 worth of focus wheel turn disparity seems extreme. Is it supposed to be that different? Is anyone else's like that? Or am I being crazy. I have to say the focus sensitivity bothers me more than the total wheel movement.
Thanks in advance!
