Cleaning binocular prisms
I just became the happy owner of a set of AOE 11x70' s, and they are just a wonderful piece of equipment to use so far, except for one little whinge. There is a bit of muck in the field of view, and it's been there since they arrived in the post. I would imagine that it's a bit of plastic or something from when the threads were milled, jostled onto one of the prisms during transit. It's only noticeable during the daytime, but it's going to have to go.
I'm sure AOE would fix it up for me, but I don't really feel like packing the set up and sending them back off, and would much rather drop them into somewhere and have them cleaned, if it isn't possible for me to do it without screwing things up badly. Does anyone know a place around Ballarat, or perhaps Melbourne, that might be able to fix me up for a decent rate? It's a real shame, but I'd like to think that this an isolated issue, but then again, I'm new to this game.
