Are they worth having cleaned professionally or should I cut my losses and buy something like 11x56 Oberwerks instead.

I own a pair of 10x50 Dekarems which are basically the same binocular with a bit more coating and they"re a fine binocular indeed,well worth restoring I think. Steve.

So thanks again I appreciated your advice Regards, Darryl Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 9 registered and 56 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
