My ZEISS 10x42 Victory came (from new) with very visible dust inside the right hand half. ZEISS have suggested sending them to their (non-ZEISS) preferred service agent in the U.K. for attention. I’m contesting this as I paid ZEISS prices for ZEISS service. I’m a bit disillusioned with the backup from ‘premium’ makers.

Some of those service shops have comparable equipment to factory service.

I think you made a mistake here !.... From what i've read, and to avoid any contamination, Swarovski now refuses to repair because of fungus (I think it's the same with Leica).

You don't speak of Maven : how to do when a problem occurs ?

i guess i just need to take good care on my binocular to expand its life time since i got no choice when it broke other than buying a new one 😅
