I plan to have my sample serviced, it´s worth it because on a sunny day it is a pure pleasure and wow, this is just a decollimated sample.

The ocular lenses of the Binuxit have about 4 times the surface of the Zeiss West. When comparing the Binuxit to a clean Zeiss West 8x30 (No.5xx xxx, non B) I was shocked how sharp, bright and neutral the Binuxit looked in comparison. Definitely one of the greatest binoculars ever!
