Coincedentally I looked down mine with my very bright torch (now with new Duracel) and I can see what must be a scratch although looks like an eyebrow lash which is not nice but given that I know they are the bin for me and that in the field they do work astonishingly well then I can just shrug... -

Ok, I just want to leave a final positive note on this thread. I am once again in harmony with my Leica 10x32 HD. A very remarkable little binocular. I have seen views again that confirm to me how good these bins are, in fact I think since the repair they do work better and are easier to use... -

Are you interested in buying? For a decent price I would defintiely consider selling these. They have the just serviced cert from Leica. Yes I do like the Prostalk. Doesn't have anything like the field of the Leica but its great when you get out and use it which I intend to continue doing... -

Ok thats interesting. Could have been replaced by an older one that had been repaired previously. Who knows? Do I care anymore? Still no idea what tint a Leica HD or an non HD actually has or should have. Guess no one wants to tell. -

Same serial. Can anyone with an HD model or that has access to one or that knows someone with one please say if the objectives have a purple tint or are clear or if like me they started purple and somehow changed after returning from a Leica service? Was out today for a test over a few hours... -

Its what happened to the objectives that were purple before is what I'm wondering? I might even ask Leica about this but I'm going out shortly to do some testing first. I am really worried that I won't see that fascinating colour that the bins used to have which could especially be noticed in... -

Ron that totally hits it all on the head. All over the place would seem to sum it up exactly. Exactly what I am experiencing. Main things are the optics are superb and the focus does focus accurately. I hope they remain like that for a long time and in the end Leica have done something about it... -

I didn't go out today as I wasn't feeling great and the weather is rubbish but tomorrow is supposed to be much better so I hope I will get a good try out then. Before I sent them away they always had a strong purple tint, every time I looked at them, over the months I owned them. Must be other... -

Leica Repaired Returned Ok got the bins back. Need to take them out and have a better look with them but first impression is they seem to have repaired the main problem with the sticking right barrel focus but its still a pretty strange unsmooth focus which now has some odd slack point which... -

Just a quick progress report. Leica have contacted me that they have the bins in Germany and have also sent some details of the work to be carried out which seems to be dismantling and resetting everything and tracking info so that I can keep abreast of things. Seems to be all happening... -

Thats sounds terrible Dave. Edit added: Is it possible that Leica Singapore or Germany could sent you the UPS label and return form via email and then they could go straight to Germany. Thats what they did with me. I just printed it all from the computer and filled out the form to enclose with... -

UPS on the way I telephoned Leica today and they have sent me all documents and UPS labels etc to send the binocualrs to Leica in Germany so thats very good to start to get this resolved. I really look forward to hearing what they have to say about the problem and to having it corrected. I... -

Ok I've had enough. I have tried the advice of another Leica user and tried focusing the binoculars back and forth between near and far focus to see if this would help any. The result. This makes the problem worse. Stiffer and more squeaky, again mainly the right barrel and when focusing from... -

Ok I finally got a mail from Leica UK in which they appologised for the delay. Basically they say that it does not seem satisfactory, that the focus should be silky smooth which this one is definitely not and ask if it would be possible for me to call into their London care center or my nearest... -

Yes I think I will leave them to their partying or whatever or maybe contact the German branch and see what they think. Ich denke das den Deutschen mehr zuferlassig worden und etwas interresse haben. (I think that's German?) At the moment I think my ploy of leaving the binoculars at the near... -

I have sent a couple of emails to Leica UK over the last week and a half to ask if I should be concerned about the juddery fine focus on my HD binoculars. I can tell that the reason for the problem is in the right barrel - looking from the eyepiece end - because with the diopter setter I can...
