It's right that this is normal but it cannot be fixed by changing the IPD with the Papillo due to the fact that this only changes the distance between the eyepieces while leaving the objective distance alone.
In the papillo the distance of the objectives is changed automatically by focussing in...
Oetzis test in the german forum was a castle at 4km - sure something good with larger objectives like a 7 or 10x50 will show better resolution at that range. But at a price - monetary and in what you carry...
