Hi All, Bit of advise wanted Just picked up a second hand pair of these at a very good price. Optic's all fine only problem the focus wheel its not stiff but not smooth it doe's not seem to flow if you know what I mean you can here it turn. What I am asking can I fix this easy or is it best to send them off to Zeiss for a service, Thanks for any help

If my 7x42 T*FL is typical the focus wheel on your 10x42 should work very smoothly with a slight bit of tension to keep it from being too fast. I cannot hear mine turning.

I assume you have no trouble setting your diopter and that the diopter cover on the focus wheel covers it properly after you set it?

I definitely would not try to fix it myself and I suggest that you call Zeiss about it.

Hi,

Please do not try fixing it yourself - special tools are needed to get into the focus mechanism and a DIY job will invalidate your warranty.

Send it to us at :

Carl Zeiss Ltd
c/o SDV Ltd
Evolution Business Park
Milton Road
Impington
Cambridge
CB24 9NG

The adjustment will be free of charge.
