I just received a Vortex Fury 8x28 (supposedly moved to the Viper line now) and it's a very nice little binoc for $229 but the Depth of View is really shallow. There's a large school sign about 200 yards behind my house and although the view is clear and very, very sharp, there is no "range of adjustment" when focusing whatsoever. It's back and forth, back and forth, and then sharp. Seems like if I set it down, pick it back up, it's out of focus.
I understand that magnification reduces Depth of Field but this is an 8x28 binoc. On my Leica 8x20 I have alot of adjustment range while still in focus as well as my Zeiss Victory 8x42 FL - so there has to be something else that affects Depth of Field besides magnification. Can anyone explain? Thanks.
