Has anyone noticed that they may have a different diopter setting from one pair of binoculars to another, or is it just me?
Even within the same brand \ line of binocular I find slight differences. Of course there are build tolerances to take into account, so that could explain the slight difference. However, what is most curious to me, is that some diopters have me firmly in the + side (e.g. habichts) while others in the - side (zeiss dialyt & 8x25 victory). I'm usually about +/-.7 from the zero marking on all of them.
Overall this surprises me as Id expect consistency in this setting from experience with other types of optical devices that sell individual screw on diopter correction lenses, and one needs to know their Rx before ordering. Then again, i dont see why it should matter if the setting is easily adjustable like on a binocular. But to be on either side of zero?
Not really worried about anything, just curious and wondering if others might share their experience with this.
