Hi all
I recently purchased a pair of Papilo 6.5x. I found that I could not merge the images into one circle when focusing up closer than about 1.5mtrs. I returned them to the dealer and he sent me out a pair that he had tested himself and were working properly, but I have the same issue. Does anyone know what is going on? Is it my eyes/brain? Would I fare better with some of the 8.5x ? Anyone else had this problem? I can see how much fun these things would be for watching wildlife in the garden, insects and plants etc, and I'm torn as to whether I want to keep them or not. I'm a bit gutted tbf.
Any ideas please?
(I won't use them for general birding as I have some Nikon Monarch 7 8x30's and they are far better for birding so they are purely for pottering around the garden looking at insects and stuff.
Thanks for reading
Dave
