About this deal

Excessive use of the focus knob results in friction. If the grease (the lubricant used to ease the movement of screws) fades away with time, you will face trouble in focusing through your binoculars. This problem can be repaired very easily at home (in fact this is the easiest one). Mountain Optics has been specializing in repair, service and superior restoration of binoculars, scopes as well as other optics since 1986. Take the small screwdriver and open up lens screws. In most binocular pairs they are right at the top of both lenses. After removing them remove lenses too. What it costs to repair binoculars obviously depends on what need to be done, but also what type and age of binoculars you have. The best companies (see below) will be able to give you a free estimate if you request it, but below are some price guides that I have been able to find out for you: Another feature that we liked is the waterproof and fog-proof design, which makes this item suitable in almost all weather conditions and temperatures. Be it sunny, rainy or foggy, you can rest assured you will have a clear and crisp image of the object you are looking at from afar.

This guide was to acquaint you with how to repair binoculars at home. And I am pretty much sure I have been successful in doing so. The 2-in-1 design features a 12x magnification rate, powerful enough for concerts, sports events or birdwatching. You can take pictures or shoot video thanks to the 8 MP camera that delivers still, clear, sharp, and high-quality images. Never use your binoculars to look at the sun. As doing so will severely damage your eyes and the lenses simultaneously.Other essentials you must have while operating on your lenses are repair manual of your binos, wiping cloth, soap solution, kitchen tissue roll, and a scale. We often say of cheap telescopes that even if it’s full of aberrations, it’s at least better than what you’d see with your unaided eye. After all, Galileo’s telescope was full of aberrations, and he revolutionized astronomy. Galileo’s telescope was probably sharper than this. Try to avoid getting your binoculars out when strong winds are blowing or heavy rain is falling. Like both of them, if hit directly the outer coating of your binoculars, will start scratching the outer colour coating of lenses. Once the colour coating is faded, you will have no option other than buying new ones. Currently located next to Camp Pendelton Military base. They have provided excellent & knowledgable customer service, delivering top quality workmanship for well over 30yrs. Old or New, early 1900s vintage to modern sophisticated optics.

Knowing your terminology is important, so let's go over a few things you should know. The first thing you're going to see is some numbers like this: 8X42. The first number is the magnification; the second number is the objective lens size. We will talk about these two items first.You will not have to run to an optics store if you are seeing two objects through your binoculars when there is actually one, because now you can fix their alignment conveniently. Medium-sized binoculars are heavier, sturdier, and provide a higher magnification rate of over 12x. They are mainly used for safaris and birdwatching and offer clearer, crisper images. On the other hand, full-size binoculars are designed for professionals, birds or wildlife enthusiasts, and often come with 20x+ magnification. They are heavier and harder to adjust and, often enough, cannot be handled without a tripod. Located in Selsey, West Sussex, they are a small British company run by enthusiastic optical technicians that have been working with optical equipment since 1960. Binocular Repair Tools: Screwdrivers, scale, manual, cleaning cloth and tissue rolls etc. Note. Preferably you should have a binocular collimator instead of a screwdriver for collimation. However, a screwdriver will also fulfill the purpose. In the case of using a screwdriver, the process is called conditional alignment, not collimation.

You've probably noticed that most binoculars are described by two numbers separated by an x, 8x42, for example. That first number is the magnification (more on that in a second), and the second number is the size (in millimeters) of the objective (front) lens. The size of the objective lens largely determines the overall size of the binoculars, so that second number essentially describes their size. However even if there is a slight fault in their position, you can do the process again as you are familiar with the screws now. The product should be soft and dry to not cause marks or fine scratches when cleaning the lenses. You should also avoid cleaning substances or wipes such as Kleenex as they might leave fine marks and scratches on the lenses, which might interfere with the image quality.Grease. There are many types of grease and most of them have a bad odor. You should opt for the colorless and odorless grease. This type is easily available at all optic stores and automobile workshops.

The movement of the focus knob also causes slight movement of prism screws and the alignment of binoculars starts getting disturbed. If you find this whole process a bit bothersome, you should try to avoid excessive movement of knobs and screws. #3 Fixing the Focusing Knob If you want to use binoculars for stargazing, you'll want to collect as much light as possible. There are many pairs on the market with 63mm objective lenses for just this reason. However, all of these models are quite heavy. Step 2: How Much Magnification do You Need?But make no mistake, though there are many cheap refractors that are terrible, the Vivitar is one of the worst. Almost any department store refractor you buy is likely to have a passable achromatic doublet lens. A few I’ve seen are even multicoated. I do not recommend department store refractors, because many of them are bad for the same reasons the Vivitar Telescope is bad, it’s just that the Vivitar Telescope is a parody of the department store refractor. Is it possible that there could be some shining beacon of life and hope? Could there be something redeeming about this telescope? Some accessories that could fix these optical problems? Not a chance. It is perfect for nature lovers, pro scouts, theatre enthusiasts or those who want to see wild animals in their natural habitats.
