Hi Onehole here,,,,yes I,m still around!!,,,,,,,,I also have recently bought a DS35 and found that i had to resort to using my glasses to get a clear reticule focus and agree with comments on here that the adjustment range is a little limited for us oldies. I hate wearing glasses to shoot and all of my normal scopes have sufficient range to compensate. I had a mad idea of somehow fixing a corrective lens to the Pard and with a little constructive though I went about making a delrin lens holder on my lathe to push onto the ocular of the pard and obtained a +2.5 33mm lens from a local glasses manufacturer{Most helpful Quinzy Eye products} put the lens into the holder which I made a tight fit and simply pushed this onto and over the Pard eyepiece. A little packing tape helped make it really secure and this worked an absolute treat giving ample range for adjustment and easily removable if necessary. An added bonus was that it gave an enlarged sight picture as well. There is no POI shift either no matter how much you adjust the ocular as it is purely aiding focus onto an existing image.Here are a couple of pics to better show what I had made.......
