its in focus completely at any distance beyond about 2 and a half to 3 feet
but anywhere less than that it gets progressively more blurry as you get closer. and a half a foot its downright crap and shameful quality.
I have cleaned the lens furiously until it looks so clean it looks like it was made in a clean-room and fresh off the assembly line
Still not any better anywhere closer than a few feet

Then use a close up lens.its in focus completely at any distance beyond about 2 and a half to 3 feet

I gave some examples (post18) of how to calculate the strength of lens you might want to use for your duty.

And you are *ignoring* ours. Reading glasses. Figure what distance you want to focus. The formula/chart has been given in this trhead multiple times. The experiment is cheap. Dollar Tree has readers for $1 (they are optically fine). For zero investment, take your cellfone in the store and try it there. Or look in the couches of your older friends.

Is there no product I could buy specifically for this purpose ANYWHERE?
I just want a manually variable customizeable focus lens that i can adjust on the fly.
preferably something that just clips on and has a knob on the side of the lens that adjust the focus?
post 29 is the same as post #1 - absolutely no progression from the information you have been given.
Businesses exist to make money, they don't make money by making a product to fix an issue that affects very few people.
Look at the bottom of this page:

You find a well-known formula there: 1/F = 1/f1 + 1/f2 - a/f1f2
If you buy two lenses and separate them by a distance "a", you can create many focal lengths. If you buy two lenses and mount them to a helical focusing mechanism that varies the distance between them, you can create a variable focus lens. You have to be smart about what you choose for f1, f2 and a.
I have a feeling you will want perhaps a 0.25 diopter lens, with a focal length of 4meters (4000mm) You will probably want one of the small lenses to have a positive focus, and the other to have a negative focus.
lets try a +50mm and a -50mm - now for some math!
1/4000=1/50-1/50-a/(-50*50)
1/4000=-a/-2500
4000=2500/a
a = 2500/4000 = 0.625mm
I did that in my head, can you believe that?
Lets say you wanted a 0.5diopter lens, with a focal length of 2000mm with the same lenses - the separation distance would then be a=2500/2000, or 1.25mm.
I have a question for you though: Is it weird that I use the capacitance meter setting on my DMM to check LED's?
