Alpha Dust better than China dust? (1 Viewer)

newfie ghost · Jul 22, 2012

I know there was a thread about this a while back, but how many people have had dust or lint inside their binocular? I think we need an update.

I had two. Sent the first one back and the second one had dust as well. How much did it cost? $100 , $500 how about $2000! Alpha dust- what a fix!

Oddly enough, I haven't seen any dust in any other bin. Even cheap glass.

QUALITY CONTROL ANYONE???????? :C

BTW I haven't seen China dust, so alpha dust must be better

The only bins I owned that had dust in them that I remember we're two Nikon SE 8x32s....not counting the vintage porros that I would expect to find dust in.

Oh.. i have a some Chinese dust at the moment. But from my experience, Alpha dust is a touch sharper and a bit brighter than Chinese dust. But Chinese dust is right on the heals of Alpha dust.... but quite a bit cheaper.

I've also noticed that Porro dust is superior to roof dust. :eat:

Thanks for the laughs

You'd think the Alphas would at least include a vacume cleaner!

The chinese seem to have ripped me off. No dust!?

The alpha I had, the warranty was so good, they included more dust in the replacement.

All jokes aside I was very upset and sent a nasty email.

No dust so far. The only bins I've encounteres with stuff on the inside was a pair of new Russian 8x30's with metal shavings like the kind from a lathe. That plus very loose focusing meant they went back.
