That is great to see. It's fantastic that they lasted so long.

The binocular have been in my house for about 10-12 years. It have been used every day by me and my family. First owner of this one? - I dont know
My wife did have an accident when taking it out of my car.
First heavy drop in the road - no problem , but after the second drop some minutes later -its out of collimation. Edited by zeissoem2 - March/30/2010 at 22:11 |

Those new ones are nice. How much difference in the glass between the two? I'm really interested to hear how much difference.
