Message: <blockquote data-quote="Torview" data-source="post: 3656309" data-attributes="member: 103858">Is it fair to Swarovski to say they have focus problems ?, this is the first account I can recall reading on these pages of a mechanical failure with an EL.Its true that many have complained about Swaro focusers but this was mainly about the feel of the action rather than any problem achieving sharp focus. Lets not forget the EL once released has had no reports I can remember of diopter drift, which has been reported in Leica and Nikon models using an integrated focus diopter system.I`v used several Swaro`s with a less than buttery action but all worked effectively, my own experience is that its a non issue now with the FP models.Lets not forget the grey SF had an underwhelming focus action.</blockquote>
