Jason,

As Curtis Croulet wrote, bad or failed seals could be the culprit. I have Leica or Leitz binoculars, up to fifty seven years old. A twenty year old Swarovski which I own does not match a similar, that is 7x50, Leitz binocular, which is decades older.
An experienced salesman at a large Chicago camera shop assured me that the Leica 8x32 was worth its price because of its ruggedness compared to other high priced glasses.
I will not share Tracker's indignation, but I share his lack of enthusiasm for the Austrian marque.
Happy birdwatching,
