Focus Issues Using Leica Zoom EP In Telescopes?

Hello Astromarters,

I've heard some people having problems coming to focus when using the Leica 7.3 - 22 mm Zoom EP with a 1.25" adapter. Does anyone know anything about this? Does it have to do with f/ ratios? Which scopes had focusing issues with the Leica/1.25" adapter combo? Marcus and others said using a 2" adapter solves the problem but I prefer using a 1.25" adapter if possible.

Thanks for your comments & Clear Skies.
