Subject: Bresser Binocs, LIDL
Hi all,
I've had several very positive reports on the Bresser binocs from LIDL, but
also this from Mario di Maggio, ex Armagh Planetarium, now at Birmingham
Science Centre / Planetarium.
"Hi Terry,
Just a quick note about the LIDL binoculars. We purchased seven pairs
yesterday, and after testing them here at work this morning, we found two have
badly positioned lenses producing non-aligned images, and one is almost that bad.
In both of the bad pairs one of the large lenses is clearly sunk in further
in than the other.
Nonetheless, the other four pairs are fabulous and a real bargain at only
£9.99 each!
Thanks again for the heads up.
Mario"
Looks like there may have been a bad batch. But when they are good, they ARE
good, so if you get a pair that isn't, don't hesitate to take it back. I
always do a quick test in the store before buying: that will at least show any
serious defects.
(How do they sell them there for £9.99????)
Clear skies,
Terry
