This is my first post here... I just bought a Leitz 8x32 (150m/1000m version) from the 1970s (with a rectangular Leitz logo badge). They seem really nice and are all I will probably ever need. I read here that the close focusing distance can be extended by moving the excess helicoid from infinity towards the close focus. Can this be a DIY project? If so does anyone have a link or can offer a step-by-step? Or if not can you recommend someone on the east coast in the US that offers this modification? Thanks in advance!
