The invoice "Repair Details" says:"Impact Damage....Re-align, re-collimate prisms and optics. Check, Test and Clean Equipment".They got a bad knock, falling about a metre off a table onto concrete (in the yard). They are now good as new, except for a nasty little dent, about a millimetre or so, luckily almost invisible on the bottom outer rim of the right-hand objective. The repair cost 114 euro, which might seem a lot in the U.S., but isn´t expensive here, especially considering the binos were couriered from Ireland to Britain and back to me from the Irish agents (SLR Service Centre in Rathmolyon, Co. Meath, for any Irish BF folk who need Nikon stuff repaired!). Lesson: don´t play with binos and children at the same time.</blockquote>
