I checked it and when i looked inside to see if they cleaned the optics well I saw a lot of tiny scratches. I showed the dealer the mess and he was very angr now (not about me but to Leica). He tried to reach someone at Leica but it was Friday and they had weekend, we thought. He said, that he send it back with an angry discription of the customers (me) problem. 4 Weeks later (they forgot to inform me, that it arrived) I recieved it back and now it is a fully new one were they replaced the eyebarrels with the orig. serial number. The new one is the following model the "BN". So, now I have the new "BN" model with new coatings on it with the old serial number eyebarrels, old eyecups, "BA" model manual, "BA" package, the old leatherbag and neckstrap (that's no problem), and the bill with the serial number of a "BA" model that now is a "BN". Conclusion: The new "BN" is a "9" but there are better binos out there. A german Page 1 of 1 | ||||||||
