[QUOTE="Kevin Purcell, post: 1756207, member: 68323"] They are rather "wide" or "flat" porros (unlike say the Nikon Extreme ATB which rotate the objective sdownwards) with maximum distance between the objective. Not the best for a great grip. Three things: Use the fingertips of both hands to focus ... push with left and right index fingertip rather than pushing and pulling with one. Try the military grip or thumbs up grip (thumbs either side of the eyepieces on the prisms housing and focus with two finger tips. This grip also stop you from "seagulling" your arms out to the side. Much steadier. Works with the two finger focusing trick too. Pictures on this thread [url]http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=145138[/url] The other old porro trick is to focus from the bottom with a thumb if you are using the thumbs underneath grip. You can done one hand over and the other hand under. All of these worked. I just tried them on my Legened porro. Nice inexpensive optics but a little large. [/QUOTE]
