I recently purchased these binoculars & really like them. There seem to be a little left/right play in the focus wheel. Is this normal to be expected?

Hi there, The focus wheel on mine seems to focus wheel and i dont experience any sort of unwanted movement on the wheel... I hope that answer your question, if not, you should try posting it in some of the popular binocular forums. Gl

The focus is adjustable by two rotary knobs, one on each side of the binoculars. They are located where the lens meets the temples. They are focusable from 10 feet to infinity.

I found out two things about the binoculars: (1) I can focus better when I leave my eye glasses on and (2) without my eye glasses I can see better if the I keep the binoculars back from my eyes a bit. Point 1 & 2 my be related. I am accustomed to other field glasses where the eye pieces are in direct contact with my face. This doesn't seem to work as well with these. Hope this helps.

Try it and if not return it . I have one and works with several types of binoculars with a thread.

Hi Eric, I wear glasses but I dont wear them when I use binoculars of any sort. I focus and adjust the bins for my eyes and it is just a second to whip the glasses off and raise the bins to my eyes. I feel I would have missed the bird or action wearing my glasses and using the bins anyway. I haven't found a pair of bins that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable looking through glasses and bins together - I include Leicas, Nikons, Lynx, Zeiss etc. Hope this helps. - Geoff

I am a new be, but when I received my scope the problem I had was getting the finder scope to match the telescope. My view was also blank. Using the wrong eye peice can cause the same problem. The wrong focal length, due to eye peice, and or the wrong eye peice tube. I had to fiddle with it for a while, I started with small tube, and large eye peice, focused the scope with the spotter scope, best view of the moon with out being there. Patience, dont throw it out. I hope I could be of help, trial and error

Mine did not. But it depends on whether you get a good piece or not. These are cheap binoculars. Quality control may not be that great.

Yes... the right eyepiece turns to individually focus for that eye. It's only marked + and -, but seems to do the job.

These binoculars have a rather short eye relief distance. You can roll down the eye cup to compensate for this. Using with glasses might dimenish the field of view. If your vision is not too bad and relatively close in each eye, you should be able to use without glasses by focusing the left eye with the center focus wheel and using the diopter setting on the right lense to focus the right eye.If there is sporting goods store near, you might be able to find a pair to "test drive". It will be hard to beat Amazon's price. Hope this helps.

Casey,Thank you for your message. I do not think you ordered these Binoculars from me. I search for your name and could not find it in our order list. Did you order them under a different name?What would be most helpful, is if you could provide your Amazon Order number, then I could look your order status up.Thank you and have a great day,Carlos

There is a indentation about mid way through the device. You'll see a series of parallel vertical striations of sorts moving from left To right. That is your magnification knob. It's really my only complaint about the device. It should've been a digital zoom.

Try adjusting the diopter adjustment on the viewfinder- likely was off. Should view and record in focus.

The objective (front) lens have attached lens caps that snap on and then hang down when you are using the binoculars. They work very well. The eye pieces have a molded cover that fits over both and hangs from one of the straps. It is O.K. but a little inconvenient.

I remove my glasses when I use these binoculars. I tried looking thru them with my glasses on...it clearly reduces the FOV because you cannot get your eyes as close to the lenses as you can without glasses on. I suspect that would be the same issue you would find with any binoculars.

I also wear glasses. I've not found any binoculars, and I have tried many, that worked very well with my glasses on. That includes these binoculars. However, despite that problem I do like these binoculars. They are lightweight, compact and provide a good sharp image.

I am sorry Thomas, I do not know the answer to your question. As a side note, I must correct my previous statement regarding the Celestron Skymaster binoculars I purchased. I stated that they didn't open wide enough to be able to view properly through both eyes. I was WRONG! I discovered that they in fact do operate properly, and I am very happy with them. I will say that I should have purchased the tripod stand that was offered with them at the time.All the best,Jim M.

Hello I'm not a expert but the telescope collimation might be off. The focus assembly could have a problem. Hope this helps.
