This kind of purse swinging really makes this forum look good to folks who want to learn.
No amount of verbal abuse from the Zeiss Fan Boy Club bothers me because I know deep down inside they are sorry they bought that rusty, stained, fogged up Zeiss with all those metal fragments clunking around inside of it. I have changed over to a Canon 10x42 IS-L anyway. It has 40% better resolution than the Zeiss SF and has a rock steady view and costs about a 1/3 of the price of the Zeiss SF so no amount of Swaro bashing can hurt me anymore. The Canon 10x42 IS-L will give you a better view than any other 10x42 binocular. Excuse me I will be down at the Canon binoculars threads. There are too many Zeiss Fan Boys around here. You know you should have a thread just for Zeiss Fan Boys where you can tell everybody how much you love them and exactly where you have your Zeiss tatoo. HaHa.:king::king::king::king::king:
What can I say all behavior offends someone.
That's true.
No mater what you do, someone is going to be offended.
It is a fundamental law of human interaction and behavior.

That was the most bromidic post I have ever read. That quote has only been used about 1000 times before.Actually I am a Nikon Fan Boy. I'm not sure how many I own.
You know what they say don't you? "If you know how many Nikons you own then you don't own enough of them."

That was the most bromidic post I have ever read.
That was the most arid and vacuous statement I have ever read. You really lack imagination don't you?Send this to Dennis. He wants this kind of information about Swarovski's binoculars.
You would. Is that kind of an insider Zeiss Fan Boy joke meant to humiliate other members like me. Well, I don't find it funny because it is at my expense.Damn near split my sides at this one Bob. :-O :-O :-O :-O

Gentlemen, please keep your posts on topic and quit sniping at each other.
Thank you.

I've waited very long whether I would make this post or not, but I guess my experience with Swarovski may be heard as well.
My experience with swaro focusers is not so good.
My first SLC was returned to the store 3 days after because of a squeeky focuser.
My SV50 is very smooth and even, but developed a bit of play when changing directions. It is acceptable when it stays like this, but I think it should not happen on such an expensive bin.
My second SLC developed a squeeky focuser after a couple of weeks, but it disappeared for a while after rinsing it under tap water.
My SV32 was sent back to Absam for a very, very uneven focuser, and returned even worse than it was.
Sent it off to Absam again with a checklist which contained 4 things to check, it returned with only a focuser overhaul, and it was still as shitty as it was after the first repair. Very uneven feel and a lot of stiction. 3 remaining things were not even looked at.
Total time that I had to miss the SV32, 2 months. And still not ok. Now I'm on holiday with a bino which is impossible to fine focus.
Made a complaint, but got the answer they could do nothing more than ask me to send it to the factory i.s.o. the repair departement for a complete overhaul, and I could ask if the local importer of Swaro Belgium had a replacement bin to take with me on holiday. Which I didn't.
If I knew all of this before spending 8000€ worth of Swarovski optics over the last 1.5 years.....
Problems can and will occur with every brand, but what counts is how they solve them.
I wish I could, but I can't confirm the raving words about Swarovski service.
Or is it it just me being too critical..... ? When I pay top dollar, may I expect top customer service as well?
I've been VERY patient, but at this moment I am really disappointed in Swarovski.
B.t.w. I'm still in Sweden, so I don't have internet access all day long, and can't reply quickly.
P.s. I'm not trying to bash Swarovski with the story above, I just wanted to share my experience. (and a bit of venting from my side as well, this issue is bugging me for over a month now.) To be continued.
1) why would someone at Zeiss know this demographic information about Swaro's sales?
2)most of Swaro customers are hunters

Uhu,
Don't know where you've bought your optics, but Swarovski Benelux offers lent bins (in case of repairs) for the purposes you describe.
Next time ask the dealer for it (assuming he is a official Swaro dealer)!!!

Theres so many side arguments going on that it's damn near impossible to keep up with whats going on any more.
Must be a full moon or something.
