[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 360710, member: 12496"] My notion is that not distinguishing between a couple of clicks just means it is not critical which you choose. You are adjusting this diopter adjustment to see the viewfinder itself... seeing the the lines and features of the viewfinder. It has nothing to do with focus of the camera lens (although it does help you to see that better, properly). But if a couple of clicks at the correct point don't show a difference, it doesn't matter which you choose, it's all good. The viewfinder lines and features should be sharp and clear at both such clicks. If there were a difference, you'd do it. :) Macro focus is simply difficult sometimes, esp when real close. :) Sometimes the auto focus can't do it well. Sometimes when you try your hardest to get it right, it still works out focus is slightly in front of or behind where you thought it was. Macro focus is just hard sometimes. [/QUOTE]
