It needs to be quicker in close if you do a lot there, but it is not difficult. The focus at distance is precise.  I really don't need the focus much at all past 100 yards or so.  I got surprising detail on some deer I glassed in the sage brush at over  a mile and a half the other day.I stumbled upon a personal quirk the other day I was not aware of.  Quite by accident, I noticed that the hand I use to focus depends on the binocular.  With the Maven at counterclockwise, I'm using my right hand.  With a clockwise binocular it is the left.  That way a pull toward the outboard side of either of the binoculars brings the object in.  Push toward the center for distance.  I'm right handed with no particular ability to use the left.Thanks very much for your responses to the various quoted questions.  I appreciate that took some effort on your part an I do appreciate it.  I'm going to read it a few more times and let it sink in some more.  Those are helpful.</blockquote>
