Hi,

I had the same problem with my TMB115. No focus at all with AP Maxbright diagonal. Finally I found out that the AP 2"/1,25" reduction which goes into the diagonal was to thick (or high). I changed it to the 2"/1,25" reduction delivered with TMB and voila - can come to focus. The difference between AP 2"/1,25" and TMB 2"/1,25" is ca. 2mm but it makes a huge difference for focus I assume. Please check if your problem is not similar to mine.
