I've just purchased one of these with the 25 x 50 zoom eyepiece.
After a few days use I'm finding the focussing incredibly sensitive, i.e. too sensitive. Seems a very fine line between being in and out of focus.
Anybody else find this?

I've had the same setup for about a year. I would agree the balance between accuracy and speed errs towards the latter in this scope and getting sharp focus needs delicate adjustment. You may find it's a bit easy after you've used it a bit and the mechanism becomes a bit smoother.

Nick, I have the same setup, the focus works fine, I got use to the sensitive adjustment.

Interesting to get your replies, thanks.
And to have confirmed that the Swarovski focus is very fine and sensitive. I've been used to the double focus wheel of Leica in the past which feels quite different.
I'll hope to get used to the Swarovski….

I'm sure with use you will adapt to the focusing. This is a great 'scope.

Further to my previous comment, was using a friends Zeiss yesterday alongside my own Swaro. It has double speed focussing and I didn't like it. I think it's just a question of 'shock of the new' Nick, you'll think it's fine after a month or two.
