Hi all
I've recently got myself the ed III with the 30x eyepiece.
I didn't have the option to try before buying but I have heard nothing but good things about the scope so wasn't too concerned.
Initial views backed this up as it does give a great image for it's size and price.
After a bit more of a play however, I find the depth of field ridiculously shallow, to the point where it is difficult to focus properly as no sooner is an object in focus, it moves out of focus. I have used a wide range of scopes over the years and have never come across one as sensitive as this.
Has anyone else found this to be an issue? I've look through the threads and can't find much more than a brief mention of it so I assume it's not a common issue with ed III users.
Would using a different eyepiece change things? I prefer to use fixed eyepieces and 30x is my preferred choice but would consider the zoom or a lower mag eyepiece if it would make things better.
Any views would be appreciated.
David
