[QUOTE="Allen, post: 311386, member: 389"] So on the slightly more generic topic of optics, especially binoculars. I have a question. The lens on both my Nikon and Leupold binocs have a "blotchy" look if you are looking AT them, but not necessarily through them. It seems to be a problem with the coatings and I am guessing this is an issue related due to them hitting extremes on their temperature range. Accidentally leaving them on the dash when the heater is on in winter, wearing and using them when it's -40, etc. Can anyone elaborate on what I am experiencing and just how expensive of Nikon/Leupold level binocs does a person have to go to not have this issue? Clay??? [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] note, I am talking about optics in the $200-3XX range. [/QUOTE]
