Hope the Zeiss scopes are better quality than their glasses. I bought a pair of THE most expensive glasses (plain vision, not binoculars), in town because they looked good and I have a hard time picking out new glasses. With the "Zeiss" name, I though they must be THE best. They fell apart in one week...factory defect at the braze on the junction of the nosepeice. Took me 6 months to get a replacement from my optometry place who ordered from the factory. Second pair lasted couple more weeks. Same problem. Too much of a hassel so they got filed in the circular bin under "J" for junk.

No more Zeiss for me. Just a friendly warning....although the rest of their line might be fine.????
