Antares finder - Lemon?Posted By Joe Baldwin |
I was wondering if you ( or anyone else) has had the same problems with their Antares finder. I recently bought a 10X50 right angle finder with the dovetail base and I am very disappointed overall with it. First, there is a huge amount of parallax. I can move my head around and the crosshairs move w.r.t the field almost 1/8 of the field!. Secondly, the reticle eyepiece will not reach focus when fully inserted. It must be pulled back out a few millimeters to reach focus. I think this might explain problem #1. Lastly, and most frustrating, I bought the dovetail mount for my C8. The thing was so poorly designed that there is almost 1/2 degree of slop in the mount when the set screw is tightened. DO I just have a lemon or is this what you get for $140?
