    Help with Diopter ring on RSPB HD 8x42

    Just to update, I did try the hair drier treatment, but to no avail. Its still stuck. Nice idea by the way, I can certainly see the logic. Think I'll just stick with it as it is, as the position its stuck in seems perfect for my eyes, rather fortuitously.

    I have just purchased a wonderful binocular on Ebay for £200, when new they cost £500, so I can't really complain if there is a fault.
