I assume that the "normal" eyesight setting is the middle bar between the "+" and "-" halves of the wheel. Does it seem right for me to use the far "-" setting? Where do others have their R8 diopter wheels set for perfect focus? Francesco At 10:07 AM 2/21/99 , Eric Welch wrote: >At 08:13 AM 2/21/99 -0600, you wrote: >>My vision is NOT perfect.
