Hey guys,
I just purchased some 20x80 binos for a really good price. They of course needed collimation. This style has a set screw on each prism objective so that the owner can simply use a screw driver for easy access collimation. I tried this at dusk and got the two images lined up(I used a electrical line). I went to use them tonight and I had no double images but the left side was out of focus. Now I assume there is a sweet spot one must hit between both sides being in focus and collimated. My question is how is this easiest achieved? Should I align first then focus or focus then align? Do I have to just tough it out with painstaking trial and error? 8O
Please help and all suggestions welcomed.
