Hi, I am looking for some advice please,
I brought a new Swarovski ATX with 85mm lens in the summer and I am experiencing a slightly blurry and darker spot in the Center of the image, I find this more noticeable when I am zoomed fully in.
The out of focus patch when on full zoom is roughly 1/8 of the view and this is dead Center.
When I increase the distance from my eye to the lens and move my eye around the slightly blurred patch stays in the Center so I don’t believe it is my eyes.
This is the 2nd ocular eye piece I have had from the dealer as the first had a very visible speck inside the lens.
When shining a torch through the scope I cannot see any specks of dust which I think would cause what i am experiencing, but I can see some very slight marks poss very faint scratches on the glass which separates the two halves of the scope when broken down, now these have always been there from new and was on my first ocular eye piece, I just think maybe I am far too picky.
I am new to high end optics so any advice is great fully received.
Incidentally I do not experience this with with my NL pures.
I am looking for feedback before I contact Swarovski
Many thanks Stuart
