Hey all,

Are there any products or methods that let you set "stops" for the focal length?

Ideally I would be able to set a stop for infinity and up close, so instead of needing to use the pin hole covers + illuminator, I could just quickly adjust the lenses. The pinhole or aperture adjustments work, but significantly cut back on usable light when using the closer focal length.

Anything out there like that?

Thanks

You can use a butler creek scope cap or LPVO throw lever and have them attached to the lens so that when you adjust the lens they will stop against the battery compartment, effectively giving you one close focus stop setting that you can adjust to your liking.

Outside of a purpose built product, this is the exact sort of suggestion I was looking for. I'll give that a shot! Thanks!
