There is a "How it's Made" segment on YouTube showing the assembly of what appear to Steiner 7x50 binoculars. They use UV curing cement to set prisms and another adhesive to fasten objectives to the body. After viewing the video I assumed they were essentially non-reparable.
Many times they can be repaired, but, more often than not, it's far from being cost effective. In the fleet, we called them "the disposable binocular." But, they have a German name, so that must mean they're the top of the mark. Right!? Even though, these days, many to most come from Asia. :cat:
