I have just been looking through this month’s Birdwatch magazine e-newsletter. Included is an optics guide, giving prices etc. The length of warranty for binoculars is one of the criteria given is length of warranty. I was amazed at how greater a length of warranty most models have, than the same products in Australia. On the other hand the UK prices are much higher than they are here.
The comparison tables for bins can be found here http://www.birdwatch.co.uk/userfiles/file/Binocular%20Data%20Table%20Master%20January%202013%20v3.xlsx

One response to “Optics Warranties-why do we get so little”
Hi Carl and all,
I just bought a Vortex Razor HD scope (from B&H) which offered a lifetime, global, no questions asked warranty covered for everything except loss or theft.
It even covers the scope if sold second hand so that the new owner is covered too.
Now that’s a warranty!
I did buy it from the US though (hundreds of dollars cheaper than anything I could find in Aus even though I paid import tax).
Fantastic scope it is too…
Cheers,
Ed
