    white spots on prism

    I was able to try a Bynolyt Tern 8x32 today and I must say that I was impressed. Ok, it was not as bright and contrasty as the Eschenbach with it's 42mm objectives and dielectric prism coatings, but the BT image was still pretty clear, it handles glare very well, better than the EB, has a large...

    white spots on prism

    The OP is ok with a bit of OT in his thread... He is too busy figuring out what the hokey cokey is all about :-O Hi Joachim, I paid a little bit more than you, but I think I'll return it. A third party rainguard would certainly improve handling, but then I would still have to find a way for...

    white spots on prism

    I was quite surprised by the poor state of the bins I received. Guess they had to clear out some crappy ones before the Christmas shopping spree. As long as I can understand what is being said, it's ok. I worked for a Dutch-British company for a while and for fun the we used to teach...

    Yes, I think it is an Amazon repacked reject. Got a bit of a discount, I thought, but now I know why. The third in a row with an obvious defect :C

    Sorry, didn't mean to offend any living being.... Certainly not bears. o:D I picked up this expression from another forum, where it was used occasionally. I guess forums are not the best place to learn a new language. :eek!: Merry Christmas

    white spots on prism

    I know... it sounds contradictory... Well, to be more complete: it is an Eschenbach Trophy d 8x42. Eschenbach Germany, that is... The only thing German about it is the brand tag and the fact that the head (sales?) office is located in Nürnberg, Germany. :eek!: I had been warned about the...

    white spots on prism

    Yes, Chinese, but high quality one, supposedly :h?: Not fungus, i think, looks different. Will try to take a picture, but doubt if I'll manage

    white spots on prism

    I have a bin "on trail" from Amazon, but I noticed it has some small white spots on the prism (on the objective side of the prism). Optical quality does not seem to suffer, but still I assume this to be a "significant" defect, or am I nitpicking here...? Edit: just had another look with...
