Hi Andrew,

I used to work with a guy in Perth who collimated binoculars and he used the Zeiss collimator. I think he is still doing them.

To do it properly isn't as easy as everyone seem to think.

Since getting military binoculars, due to their strong construction, I haven't had any issues with collimation. But, they don't come cheap, although they are cheaper today than they were when I bought them in the 80's.

Cheers Peter
