My original Lidle bins broke when they fell to the ground so this time
I bought two just in case (Lidl have them only twice a year). The
eyepiece seems to be a bit slack. Broke one already (without even
taking them out) when an eyepiece came adrift. It was easily fixed
but I wonder if this is a weak point with this batch.

By the way, I wouldn't trust the strap (that's why the original bins
broke). I bought a decent strap from the 'odds and sods' box of a
local camera shop.

Anyone know how Lidl can sell good bins at that price. I would guess
they are seconds.


FSVO good? How do they compare with Leica or Swarovski on quality?

The difference in price doesn't make up for the difference in quality!
I bought a pair of binoculars at my local book store for 10 Euro's and the do work for me.
