Issue with SLC 15x56 HD lenses/coatings
Hello fellow birders, I bought these SLC 15x56 HD recently. They are probably manufactured in 2020. Today when my binoculars fogged up, I saw weird imperfection, I tried to clean them but they did not come off. I am not sure if they are inside or outside but I cannot clean them. I am a little...

For some reason I always have bad experience with Swarovski USA repair/service. Last year my ELs were sent three times to get cleaned. Two years ago my brand new Els got fungus inside just sitting at home, they were never dropper or even left my house.
This year my recently purchased SLCs 15x56 had imperfect coatings. They were sent for repair but came back with more dust inside the lenses and sticking to barrels. There are grease stains on the rubber armor now!
I am thinking that mid range options like Meopta and Vortex appear to be better in this regard because they cost 50% less and usually replace the item if they cannot fix it!
