Hi Rich,
I do understand what people are saying about the 'cheaper' binoculars.None of the binoculars should be out of collimation and be useable when bought. They are selling a NEW product. Perhaps I'm a little fussy but I do expect things to be right.Do you Rich? Have you ever sent any binoculars back after paying out your hard earned money?

It is a difficult positon to be in for Stephen. We can only let Stephen make the decision. Lets hope it's all sorted out for him and enjoys the night sky.I know he will like CN binoculars form. I certainly do.

Clear Skies.




Glen, I understand your point but these are very inexpensive for the size of the binocular. I would worry about getting into a cycle of going through several pairs before finding one that is "perfect", assuming the dealer is willing to keep exchanging binoculars.

Have I sent in a binocular for repair? No. But I do have one that cost about $4,500 USD a couple of years ago that I will be returning for repair. It has an issue with something in one tube shifting, causing an image problem in just that one tube. I noticed it a year ago but I have been busy and also I worry about shipping it.

Rich
