[QUOTE="NDhunter, post: 2007678, member: 74573"] I guess it time for me to respond with some things I have found out with the Nikon EDG. I have not found any diopter creep, with mine, and I have had my 10x42 for over a year. I recently have acquired the 8x32, and what I have found is the hinge tightening is much looser than I prefer. I did send my 10x42 in to Nikon Service, only for the loose hinge concern, and they sent it back unchanged. I was not happy, so I had to resort to my own method, by removing the lower tripod cap, and using the plier method, of tightening the tensioner myself. I am a farmer, used to working on machinery, so this was not hard for me to do. I now am happy with the increased tension, and I like them stiff, and set just for my eyes. I am wondering, that by increasing the tension, it may also help the diopter, but I have not had an issue. I suppose if you are moving the hinge IPD a lot, it could affect the diopter. I am very happy with the Nikon EDG, but these issues are good to be brought to the top. A moderator, should move this thread, up to the Nikon threads. Jerry [/QUOTE]
