    That’s my dilemma too. I want to send mine for a service but not want to be months without them or have to buy another RF bino

    I was actually a bit disappointed that the NZ agents didn't have an ex demo loaner pair

    Have made some enquiries with a very well connected German I've guided a bit.
    He's extraordinarily well connected and frankly it wouldn't surprise me if he knew who owned Swarovski Optik

    Well my friend doesn't know the Swarovski owners !

    Sends me a picture a few days ago meeting a NZ Member of parliament at a function in Germany.
    So I assumed he had good connections.
    Turns out he does, but not the right ones to impress me

    Still waiting for repair on my Kahles Bino 10x42. Been 13 mths so far and was in warranty. Last contact last year - JP tried to chase up the new NZ agent to no avail last Oct. Might claim insurance - hopeless really.
