I just received a pair of the Swarovski EL 10x42s this week. I'm sending them back first thing on Monday. I can adjust the dioptric scale so each barrel is in perfect focus at 120 feet, but when I tested focus at 60 feet, I have to adjust the diopter two clicks positive in order to retain perfect focus as the left side will be slightly out of focus. Then, if I want to view something at a further distance, I need to adjust the diopter back to neutral, or zero. I called Swarovski and they told me that the condition I'm experiencing is not normal. So, I'm exchanging the binos.
I noticed the first time I viewed thru the binos, that my eyes seemed to be fighting each other, just a bit, and I couldn't seem to fine the "sweet spot". I knew something was wrong. When I setup a small sign with different size print at different distances, I found out the root of the problem.
My question is, has anyone else experienced this condition? I do not have the same problem with my slc 8x30s. The diopter on those is set at one click positive and focus remains the same no matter the distance.
I've asked Swarovski to check the next pair of ELs prior to shipping. I'm hoping that my problem will be solved. Any comments would be appreicated.
