Hey Everyone,
Recently picked up a couple pairs of Porros after falling in love with them. I tried a habicht…up until then I’d only used roof prism types. Well…I’m hooked and have sold off the roofs.
I’ve got a habicht and an e ii Nikon and couldn’t be happier. Of the two the Nikon is my personal fav by a small margin but I’m concerned about it’s lack of water and dust resistance.
I will using these in cold weather and damp conditions both birding and hiking and am concerned about not only water but condensation. What is the proper fix should they get moisture inside? If just left to dry will it leave residue? Also, what’s the best way to avoid mold issues?
These will never be subjected to a downpour but would be used in wet conditions tucked under my jacket etc. fwiw
