Anyone know where to apply the glue on the swaro EL Range diopter rings. Both of mine have come off and I cant see for the life of me, how the work.
I would just glue them on so as they dont move as they're set perfect for me, but the way my eyes have deteriorated in the last few years I may need the adjustment ability[emoji16]
Cheers in advance.

Exactly the same has happened to mine.
I also need to sort as expect to have to move them regularly with age
We should send an enquiry to Blaser and ask for advice on the fix and what to use.
They will be seeing plenty of these I think
I certainly don't want my ones going for a repair anywhere because I use them absolutely every week of the year !
Same. I cant afford to be without them. I dont have a backup set either but can always bludge a set if needed.Quote:

I dont want to fiddle with them too much as I am ham fisted at times. Looked at a working apair recently but couldnt see much as to how they worked.

What lead time were you quoted? And who sent you the loan pair? Swaro Austria, or Swaro NZ??Quote:

@MSL it sounds like that loaner pair needs to make its way around the country as the varios forum members pairs are sent back one at a time ?
If we all had the personal email for a real person at swarovski we might all get this sorted

Check your PMs. I sent you one a while ago with just that, thanks to MSL [emoji106]Quote:

Happened to my mates Swaro’s as well, he sent them back for repair and they serviced them as well, took about a month from memory?
Just heard back from contact MSL gave me.
Looks like I will get a replacement set while mine are away.
Excellent service from an agent in NZ.
Stoked. [emoji106]

While on this Alpha Bino subject
Can anyone tell me why Zeiss Victory binoculars have lost favor or flavor ??
My neighbor who has a pair of +20 years and used extensively up the Muller Station next to Molesworth Station says they the best ever
He has used his with all other Alpha too over the past 20 years
Attachment 123764
Says he will have a set in a couple weeks for me.Quote:

If you don't want to wait a month, I use Andrew Rackstraw optical repair specialist 021 299 6788.
Yep that’s not too bad for that length of time aye. I got mine when they first came out. Got rid of the leicas [emoji16] always been a swaro man!Quote:

Is Andrew an authorized Swaro technician? If he isn't, then it may void the Swaro warranty.
If you've got a modern pair of binos which are still covered under warranty, I simply don't see the point in sending them to anyone other than the factory service-people. That way if anything happens to your binos during the repair process, you'll be given a new pair. It's just peace of mind.
Better to wait a little while longer, and perhaps borrow a marginal pair of binos in the interim, than risk having your good pair buggered/or the warranty nullified due to being impatient.
The Zeiss Victory HT binos are superb. They're probably the best low light binos in the 8X42 and 10x42 range. I had a new pair of 10x42's that I foolishly sold because I was having trouble with my eyes at the time. I rate them at least the equal of if not better than the top Swaro and Leica binos optically. Basically, the HT's which replaced the FL model has been replaced by the Zeiss SF which has different prisms and a redesigned hinge mechanism.Quote:

All good but they cost as much as a set of swaro or leica RF binos without the capability.Quote:

Well they actually cost more $4490 RRPQuote:

But each to their own I think
I generally prefer 8x but these 10x seem perfect fron me over other 10x Alpha
I think Zeiss has been bastardized over their Terra - Conquest range
Stupid in my book to have done what they did
Carl Zeiss prob turn in his grave if he saw
Funny thing is, I think the glass in Terra scopes is leaps and bounds ahead of any Z3 or ER5 I've ever looked throughQuote:
