Does anyone know where they are made? It doesn't say anywhere on the binos.

China! There is a sticker (hard to see) underneath near the center/hinge. These "were" made in Japan and they must have switched over recently. My buddy bought a new pair about 2 yrs ago and they were still made in Japan. I can tell you the build quality between mine and his were opposite! His were much better built.
I just purchased a pair a week ago and I returned them. No, not just because they said China. The HD glass was excellent for the price but the built quality sucks IMHO. There is a large gap around the entire right eye cup when it is twisted out. You can literally see all the way down inside the binocular. I thought I got a bad pair....nope. Tried two other pairs at the local store and they did the same thing. The adjustment knob also has a good bit of slop in it. Hope you have better luck with yours :) |
