I have had issues with a creeping diopter on all the EDG II I have tried (4-5 samples). My own sample was sent to service for some years ago, but they did not/could not fix the problem. So I still live with a creeping diopter when birding. But tonight I think that I have found out when the creeping occurs!
The creeping diopter seems to happen when focusing and you at the same time pointing the EDG upwards! If you just pointing the EDG straight ahead no creeping diopter will be seen. But when pointing upwards the diopter (mine at least does) move about +1 diopter when turning the focus wheel from right all the way to the left. Everytime it happens to me!!
Please try this with your sample of the EDG to see if the same happens to you. I have to point my EDG about 70-75 degrees (or something like that) upwards to make the diopter to creep. Let me know in this thread if the same happens to you!
