Ended up with old Hensoldt marked Abercrombie and Fitch. Or at least I have been told they are Hensoldt. They are 8X30, remarkably light with crisp, clean images, focusing smooth etc. BUT...in the left barrel there are a couple small "bugs" floating. I can work around them and if you are using in an area with "busy" background they are minor annoyance. But against a clear sky, for example, they really show up.
These are VERY nice little glasses and even though I cannot get best from them because I wear eyeglasses I'd like to keep/use them. Where in the US could I send them for repair/cleaning. Any idea ballpark cost? I have 8X56 and 7X42 Zeiss and Compact Custom 7X26 Bushnell but these little glasses are so nice an light! Thanks folks.
