EL Focus Speed (1 Viewer)

Has Swarovski adjusted their focus speed on their ELs again? The original ELs (talking 8.5x42 & 10x42) took just under 2.5 turns from close focus to infinity, then they tweaked thm to go to just under 1.5 turns. Have they tweaked them again? when? Do new 2006 models show a change in focus speed? Thanks!

Why do you think they changed the focus again? Most comments would indicate they had done the right thing the first time the changed it. Unless they try to optimize for a probable successor?

Only curious because of some comments I have read regarding a change of focus speed in new models of the ELs. Zeiss and Nikon's top models have one revolution of the focus wheel from close-infinity, and I thought that maybe Swarovski felt they had to 'compete' on focus speed, going from 1.5 to 1.0 turns. 1.5 seems fine to me, but I would be curious to know if it has changed.

Hi,
The focus is still at 1.5 turns on the latest stock (as of 14.2.2006)
