Long story short. Bought first edition geovids in 2003 10x42. These binos used hard and put away wet many times. They served me well and helped me get many fine critters in bad conditions and great days 3 yrs ago they stopped ranging over 500 yds. Sent them in for service. They asked where do I use these things as they had not seen moisture inside them like this often. Well of course everyone hunts in the rain forest and jungles of north Idaho and Montana They were cared for had the drops once or twice in case but used as intended. They came back after service worked great for another year then same issue. Sent back in did have a long wait and went to Germany. Did not have them last fall and felt naked without the ranger and clarity I was used too. Well not repairable and received a nice little package today can't wait to use them when rifle season begins next month
