That’s exactly the way many feel about Leica after trying and having the others. And as far as Swarovski making the best binoculars and spotting scopes , that’s your opinion, PERIOD.Yes both optics are brand new and there was no damage. There is zero doubt that they left the factory like this. How could an internal lens get a chip in it, or the hinge material have defects under the finish post assembly?
I've owned a lot of Swarovskis because they have always been the best when comparing them, not a single purchase has ever been because of the brand name. I like having a variety of stuff, hence why I gave this garbage a try. I've owned all levels of Zeiss, I've owned Leica, I've owned Meopta, I've owned Nikon, and I still own other brands of glass too. Swarovski makes the best binoculars and spotters out there, PERIOD. That said, I can't always justify the price tag, which is why it's not the only brand of bino's I own.
You must be mixing me up with some snowflake. And yes there are going to be a lot of people defending their favorite brand, just like you with Swarovski. Regardless if the armor is peeling off of them after a few years use. Maybe if it bothers you that some people are defending the quality of one of the best built binoculars made, maybe you should stay off the internet.I get that a lot of people are going to defend their favorite brand no matter what, but there's a lot of consumers out there that appreciate hearing the bad too so that they can be aware of the worst case scenario when spending thousands of dollars on two metal tubes with glass lenses in them. If you've got an issue with someone reporting a bad experience so others can be aware then perhaps you should stay off the internet and take up knitting as a hobby instead.
