Don't buy from Nikon
Ok some of you may know I have been a loyal supporter of Nikon products for years.
NO MORE.
Sent back a pair of Binoculars for warranty repair. Granted these are 20 year old Binoculars and this is the second time they have been back for service over the past twenty years.
After 3 months of back and forth I get a email saying they cannot get parts and they are replacing them with a new pair. I think great I am getting a new pair of binoculars for my 20 year old binoculars.
Here is where the story gets bad. The Binos they are sending will not carry the lifetime warranty. They will only carry a 6 month warranty.
So Nikon is essentially shutting down their Optics warranty after 20 years or so and getting out from under their lifetime warranty.
No more Nikon products for me. Leupold all the way.
