I am not a Nikon rep or do I have any obligation to write this for them,
10 years ago I purchased a set of ( nothing real fancy 10x42) Nikon binos. After 5 years they were beat to hella and fogging on the inside. I called and they said send them back and well fix them. They sent back a brand new pair in the box , case/ strap and all at NO CHARGE.
I had thoes for 5 years and same story, they got beat to hella and were fogging up. I called them back up and , yep, same story, send them back and well fix them. They sent me another pair of brand new binos in the box case strap on and all at NO CHARGE. 3 pair of binos for the price of one!! This doesnt happen these days.
I am looking at giving these to my wife andupgrading to a better glass. After the customer service I got I dont think I could go with any other manufacture.
