Miscollimated Apogee 10x60 binnoculars
      #1330348 - 12/30/06 10:14 AM

Hello everybody. I just purchased a pair of those, but unfortunately they came quite miscollimated, and it would be too expensive to send them back (i'm in Europe).
Does anyone has experience with collimation on this model?
Thanks,
Adrian

Hello Joad. Thanks for your answer, however, i allready search ed back and forth the forums before asking a question. The problem is that i can't find the collimation screws on my binnos, and the guys at apogee didn't bothered to answer to this question, so i'm pretty much lost. I don't have enough experience with binnos, i only had another pair and it was well merged and collimated. This pair is badly merged (i can see different images through each eye) so it's pretty bad.
Thanks,
Adrian
