Hi.. I tested my laser from (some meters under) 200 meters, and the beam/dot was about 40cm wide. If the mrad is <1,5, shouldn't the dot/beam be max 30cm wide?

Yea.. but you gotta make sure it's on a dark surface so that there is no bleed from the laser dot. It's not hard to manually adjust the focus and it might make it better, you just need some tweezers. As there isn't alot of mention about it maybe it voids the warranty though...dunno. _________________ Cheers, Sean.

yes, 30cm at 200m. You need to adjust the collimating lens for best collimation.

Do anyone have more information on how to adjust the lens on my new nexus, or any advice for/against it?

opening the laser would void your warrenty I think... besides screwing off the cap to wipe off dust with lens cloth, i think you sould contact WL for infos/instructions... i too beleive that my divergance is too large.

To do it, is easy. You just take a pair of tweezers and rotate the lens plate while shining the laser onto a dark surface. You either screw it or unscrew it..wichever way gets better results. You probably wont tneed to turn it more then a couple rotations at most. Also take not that you will have to bypass the small bit of glue holding the lens plate in place, you will need to re-glue this so that the lens stays put. That is the procedure... I don't know if it voids the warranty however, but it shouldn't unless you take it out and fiddle with anything of the internals behind it. (might want to ask Wicked about this first). _________________ Cheers, Sean.

taking the lens off 'could' be considered as an attempt to disassemble the unit... thats why i think i should ask wicked
