Message: <blockquote data-quote="dalat" data-source="post: 3320489" data-attributes="member: 65207">The Leica central diopter setting is the only one that is easy and intuitive to use, as it allows both barrels to be focussed independently. All the others, regardless of being integrated in the central axe or on the barrel, are a pain to use. Also I think Leica has implemented this mechanismn very well and no particular problems ever orginated from this. But I quite agree to the "elegant mechanical monstrosity" bit, it's still an over-engineered solution for a very small problem (most people set the diopter once and that's it).Yes, I also think that Leica tries to place the Trinovid more directly against the Zeiss Conquest HD. Just as Swaro did a while ago when downgrading the SLC HD to SLC.</blockquote>
