    Leitz cleaning/repair, is it worth it?

    Yeah I really like the overall feel of them. Even in the condition they're in the optics seem pretty darn good. Just wish I had an extra 40mm objective and a friend who can repair/collimate binos 😂

    Leitz cleaning/repair, is it worth it?

    Yeah I think I will return them unless a benevolent member here has an extra objective lens and the seller just "gives" me the busted ones. Yeah that's definitely my next move. I need to get a bunch in hand to see what really works for me. Reading review after review probably pales in comparison...

    Leitz cleaning/repair, is it worth it?

    I think my dabbling days will be short lived. While I love working on projects/fixing things, binoculars seems to have a steep entry fee for gaining knowledge of working on them, and/or for purchasing ones you won't have to work on. My ideal binoculars would have an excellent image, be light...

And as far as buying second hand, I will also look into star testing. Or I can keep learning (or not learning 😅) the hard way. Cheers.

    I know how you feel. Luckily this seller accepts returns, although I have to pay shipping.

    Leitz cleaning/repair, is it worth it?

    Oofie, I had such high hopes. Thanks for the input Scott. When searching for used ones, what model/power would you look for (assuming condition is the same)?

    Leitz cleaning/repair, is it worth it?

    New here, brought this snippet over from "say hello" on the recommendation from another member. I've dabbled in the used market but so far I haven't fared well: 1st try. Bought a pair of Leitz 7x42 B trinovids on FB marketplace that were supposed to be "mint" but have a huge glob on...
