Strange problem? (1 Viewer)

I was out birding today and all was going well....

Then early afternoon I went to look at a bird but my bins didn't focus quite right. There seemed to be something strange on the focus for the left eye, on closer inspection I found that the right barrel was fine but that there was no movement at all on the focus mechanism on the left barrel.

Seemed very odd to me, the bins had been round my neck all day and had not suffered any knocks - they just suddenly went. Just wondered if anyone else had ever encounter such a thing... or might know why it would happen.

Yeah - I happened to be close to the shop where I got them from so took them in whilst I was out today. Alas they had to go back to the manufacturer, so it will be a good few weeks until I get them back.

I was very impressed with the retailer who have loaned me a pair of binoculars until the problem is sorted out.
