    Why can't Swarovski get a little thing right? NL Objective cover issues.

    Peter, post 82, Yes and no about missing the point. First of all the caps are generally useless from my point of view, but you probably do not share that opinion. Second: you are absolutely right that they should function well if they are made by Swarovski and history has learned that they do...

    Why can't Swarovski get a little thing right? NL Objective cover issues.

    Why can't Swarovski get a little thing right? NL Objective cover issues.

    pjosh, post 4, I fully agree with your comment on the eyepiece/ocular covers.

    Why can't Swarovski get a little thing right? NL Objective cover issues.

    BabyDov, post 1, Personally I removed the objective covers immediately after receiving the NL, since they do not serve any purpose for me. I do that for every binocular I use, since for me they do not serve any purpose. Gijs van Ginkel
