My pair arrived yesterday, ex-display from a photography shop.
Had a quick look last night, very impressed with the build quality and feel, not had a chance to look through them outside yet.
How stiff should the focusing wheel be? On these it seems very stiff, and on the last quarter of a turn gets stiffer still.
Also, there is an audible noise when focussing, should the focussing be silent?
I will compare them with my Hawke Frontiers, from memory the Hawkes focusing wheel is very smooth and easy to turn, and also silent in operation.
I did get these at a decent price, so it would be a shame if I had to return them.
