Hi,
I just received a new pair of Conquest HD 8x42 bins from B&H Photo. I am very pleased with the optics. Beautiful! However, the focus wheel's action is kind of sticky or jerky, and it has a bit of play in either direction. This is very obvious when I compare to my Terra EDs, which have an excellent silky-smooth focus. I suppose I would expect that the Conquests would match or exceed this aspect of the Terras given the price increase.
Any ideas on what I should do? Has anyone had any luck with replacing through B&H, or getting Zeiss to fix? Ideally I wont have to wait several weeks for the fix.
Thanks for any advice.
