Harpia 95 Focus Problem At Full Zoom.
I've had a Zeiss Harpia 95 for a few months now but am still struggling with the focus at full zoom. The focus adjustment seems to be so 'narrow' that when turning the focus ring, just as the image looks to be sharpening, a slight extra turn of the focus ring (all done very slowly) pushes it past the focus point and I start to lose the sharpness of the image again. I'm constantly hunting back and forth with the focus wheel to try and get a sharp image. At full zoom the scope is basically a waste of time. Not having tried another one for comparison I don't know if this is normal or whether my scope isn't functioning as it should. I've contacted Zeiss via email and still had no answer to my, what I thought was, a simple question. Does anyone else using a Harpia 95 have the same issue with their scope at full zoom? Sadly, at this point, I'm wishing I had bought a Swaro ATX instead.
This post has been edited as I originally asked about the 'depth of field' at full zoom but having read a few posts, it seems that depth of field isn't really the right way to describe it.
Thanks very much.
