Hi Sue.
We had the same issues with Bushnells. My wife owned a pair and we had
endless problems with the straps/lugs necessitating visits to Bintel and
numerous interim repairs in the field. We soon realised that the irritation
value was too high.
I had bought Nikon Monarchs a while beforehand and had been happy with them
so we went for another pair - 8x42s.We bought through the internet -
bluebazooka.com was the best priced at the time. Delivery was swift and we
are satisfied with the purchase. We had considered Kowa which we found to be
marginally sharper then the Nikon but also quite a bit more expensive.
Clearly, if you are buying 'affordable' binos through the internet, you
won't get Leica/ Swarowski service, nor will you be able to use Bintel for
troubleshooting but those are the trade-offs.
Peter Abbott.
