[QUOTE="CliveP, post: 3415730, member: 85835"] Ok, pulled the eyepiece off. Curiosity got to me. I see the prism with 4 retaining screws around the prism holder rim base so I guess these are adjusted to accomplish collimation or else they are just holding it there as how would they tilt it? Seems I will need to remove the leatherette grip to get at these but I'll wait to see what Pentax come back with but I now think I could sort this fairly easily myself ( I did it with my Carson 7x18 the other day) although I might need a new leatherette part but maybe that's easy enough got? One way or the other it's gonna get worked on. Disappointed it wasn't just a matter of popping out the prism and rotating it but we live and learn as they say. I'll mull it over in my bubble bath :) [/QUOTE]
