> I fist apologise if this question is off-topic.  I invitably sweeped my

> feet.  I was concerned so I tested it.  First, when I shoke the
> binoculars, there is a rocking noise as if something inside was loose.  I
> don't know if the sound was there in the first place.  Looking at a
> distant object, it seems to work okay but nearer objects seem to put a
> small discomfort to my eyes as i remove the binoculars - sort of trying to
> refocus it self.  Again, as I have not used these binoculars too much, I
> am not sure if this is normal.  How can I check the alingment of the
> lenses inside?  I am apt mechnically so if someone has some instructions
> on how this can be done, I could try to manage.  As I was visiting Berlin
> at that time, I actually walked into a foto shop, right next to the famed
> Charlie Checkpoint and asked the opinion of the shop there and was was
> really aghast when was told that a service at Solm would cost in the
> region of DM300 to DM400, for checking and realingment if necessary.
> Sounds too much.  Now I am back in Friedrichshafen (down south by the lake
> Constance, Germany) I haven't gone to any local shops to find out the
> cost.  Thanks for any advice.
