Question for Trinovid 10x42 owners (1 Viewer)

[Hamhed]

Though it may not be important to many who are considering a new pair of binoculars, I have difficulty adjusting to focus knobs that turn in a different direction than what I’m used to. So, my question is which way does the focus wheel on the Trinovid 10x42 turn to bring the focus closer to the viewer? Clockwise or counter-clockwise? My current 10x32 Kowas, a backup to my regular binoculars which were dropped and damaged, focus closer by turning the knob clockwise, the opposite way I was used to. Call me inflexible or a slow learner but after two months, I am still often turning the focus wheel the wrong direction! A bit frustrating and ready to change. Though birding can be frustrating at times, it shouldn't be because of the equipment.
TIA!

The Trinovid HD focus clockwise to infinity. Closer by turning the focus wheel counter-clockwise. I have never handled an old Trinovid 10x42. But the Trinovid 10x32 BN focus clockwise to infinity, too.

Great! Thanks for your response. The Leicas were my first choice for a replacement, really an upgrade.
