Help - SWED80 focus confusion

Hi Guys,

I recently acquired a Skywatcher ED80 Pro. It din't come with EPs so I asked the vendor to supply a couple to get me started and I ended up with (cheap) 25mm and 15mm 1.25" plossels. In a separate transaction I also purchased a 2" diagonal.

With just the EPs I am unable to focus - I run out of inward travel. With the diagonal I can focus both EPs, but almost at the limit of inward travel. Does this sound right?

I also purchased an Orion Illuminated 12.5mm Plossl which wont focus with or without the diagonal.

Do I have a problem with the 'scope or is this usual?

Thanks for your help,

Colin.
