Hi all, I was recently fortunate enough to acquire a near mint condition set of Swift Trilyte model 715 7 x 35, with the twist up/down eye cups.
They offer a very bright crisp image with a huge dof and are nice and compact in the hand.
The only issue is that they only seem to focus down to around forty feet and the focus wheel doesn’t have to be move much to go from close focus to infinity. It will move by another 360 deg or so until the stop, but the image is out of focus.
My question is, could the focus wheel have slipped and need re setting? Anyone any experience with these?
