    Anyone know about binocular collectors clubs?

    Binopedia and BHS are the same. They (we) had a meeting in Norway last year.

    why were the habicht 8x30 GA discontinued?

    We have one sample left in stock which costs 1.250,00 euro. I don't now what the current price will be from Swaro for the next batch and if they have stock. They are closed 'till monday.

    why were the habicht 8x30 GA discontinued?

    If there are really serious requests for the 8x30GACF, I could ask Swaro if they have some IF models in stock in which case the conversion suggested by Henry could take place. Jan

    Two new additions ...

    Sorry mate, I should have written: 'your model will not be serviced anymore'.

    Two new additions ...

    Yes, Swaro does not service this model anymore due to lack of spare parts.

    Two new additions ...

    Nowadays the repair department is part of the development department. In the SL times it wasn't and they are a pain in the a** to repair as the picture shows. Plastic wheel-works give friction and/or free play on the long run as the pic shows. Jan

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    What we don't know is the timeperiod of the 1-2% mentioned by Swaro. Is it 1975-2024, 2000-2024, 2015-2024??

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    Hi Herman, I really have no idea if/wether those conditions in any way can be taken responsible for this issue. I have to take Swaro's word for this. The given rate of 2% from Swaro counts for their worldwide returns and the 2.8% for the local Dutch returns. If you read my post carefully you'll...

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    It took some digging but our return rate for Swaro armor problems over the years is 2.8%.

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    Hi Jos, Seen in the light of post 772 one could argue that Swaro should deal, for those customers you refer to, with this issue on a 'Noblesse Oblige' way. I am on the same page with you on this matter.

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    Jos, The margin for the dealer, given by Swarovski, is big enough to give the service mentioned in my post. Having said that, service is paid by margin. Ofcourse I can only speak for the circumstances related to my country but according to the 'flag' Pim is Dutch, so......

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    If it would come to that, you needn't worrie because your dealer will take care of you in both sending and replacing for the time being in Austria.

    Curio Whoopsie!

    Bushnell is following Vortex in that regard. The new models have the same warranty. Lifetime, no questions asked.

    Bushnell (Bausch & Lomb) Repair Center in the USA is Permanently Closed

    We dismantle the 'trash' and show the inside to kids. They love to see the world upside-down and up again. Very educational and fun (also for the parents).

    Bushnell (Bausch & Lomb) Repair Center in the USA is Permanently Closed

    Same here in Holland. Seems to be cheaper to replace it instead of having a spare parts storage and repair staff. The green deal versus the economic deal........ And yes, they are put in the garbage.

    Floaters

    I've been told by mine chirurgeon that flares on the outside of ones vision occurs with age when the eyeball starts differing in volume while the Retina can't. If these flares are longer there then 3 weeks it's time to hurry. It can heal itselves within 3 weeks. If not it is getting loose and...

    Floaters

    Yep, go straight to a dr. Don't wait for a next visit. These are signs that your retina is getting loose and if not fixed (they can put it back on when you are on time) otherwise you'll have a problem.

    Floaters

    I have the same issue only it is straight ahead of what I see. Looks like a waterdrop of 5mm in my right eye vision but I can see clearly around it given the fact my left eye is OK. Have been to the same persons as you did. If the flare on the edges doesn't accur with you, be happy.

    Floaters

    What you describe as 'frosted glass' is the symptom of Macula degeneration which often comes with age. It will probably increase (sorry mate) in time. Hopefully not but the next step is noticing 'fireworks' on the edges of your view which indicate that the retina is getting loose. In that case...
