My eyes was adjusted to obtain the better possible focusing from medium to long distance, in other words, for reading or watching my computer I need glasses, between 1.5/2 diopters, but not for focusing. I don?t know which is the reason, but I can focus much more better my M9 than the M8. I hope this helps Cheers and enjoy Italy!
