What's a 'go to lens' ?

I never had any problems adapting to varifocals .

Perhaps it was the suggestion made by my Optometrist that made the difference - he said point your nose at the object you want to look at and you will have no problem .

No - it's not as easy as that - that's the problem

This is one of the great things about the English language - its inconsistency

It's perfectly acceptable [ and indeed correct ] to say " You've got that wrong "

Hi Stefan! This is completely off-topic, but using "you've" as a contraction for "you have" is very tricky. It's hard to define when it is okay and when it isn't (but I know it when I see it ). I notice you use the phrase all the time, and often it is wrong way (sorry). When asking a question it is definitely wrong!
Thank you Tim, still leaves me with the question what's right
How would you've phrased the question?
You see I use you've again
I'm not thoughton

BUT the question should have been phrased as

" How would you have phrased the question "

There the short cut 'You've' is just not right , it's one of those very typically not easy to define situations .

I realise that's as clear as mud

I was , admittedly a good long time ago , at work with my very very elderly Series 2 LandRover when the Customs folk arrived and asked to 'dip' it .

Needless to say it was OK

If I dare put some of my work up - and ask for help - you certainly can

I got my K-x in December and never had anything other than a Point & Shoot before .

Folk here really do try and help and encourage you
