Thread: Kahles issues?

I've dragged them and dropped them, never used lens caps, try not to clean them (sometimes, the lens pen that came with my scope) count on fingers how often. Still look very nice, excellent light after it's to dark to see with naked eye, no problems with collimation. Leica Geiovid 10x40 did have an edge over them but weigh twice as much and cost 4x. For North Island, these 8x binos are fantastic.

The case was crap. Initially came with one for the 10x binos - a waste of space but soon replaced by Collings at Carterton where I bought them. Proper case is good to use but very quickly started to pull apart at the seams. Now repaired with duct tape and has been good ever since. Strange since the binos are so good.

I went into Collings about 8 weeks ago to look at a pair and they had stopped stocking them. They said that at the price the wholesaler was marketing them at they were too expensive for what they were.
