Im sure they were not bought that way so somehow water got in. the problem with water is it contains minerals that will eventually corrode or stain the optics. for a quick fix you can contact a camera store and ask if they have any of the moisture absorbing packets that are used in shipping.(they can be dried out and used again). otherwise they will have to be taken apart and cleaned, but that would be expensive to do...good [email protected]

Try setting it next to the heater vent for a few days. Somewhere dry and hot.

Looking for konus #2048 binoculars user instruction manual. Everywhere I look says this model is missing.I have the binoculars but not a clue how to make them take pictures

I don't see the manual online. There is a corporate address in Miami.

KONUS USA CORPORATION 7275 NW 87th Ave.
MIAMI FL 33178
tel. +1 305 5925500
fax +1 305 5926255

I gather their warranty consists of replacement rather than repair. These are sophisticated devices yet one business link indicates that at most there are 5 employees at the corporation. If that is so, I am not expecting you to get a lot of feedback from them.

I ran across an advertisement detailing some of the specifications. It seems it came with a CD and cabling which enables it to download pictures to a computer. The software included referred to systems from XP to 2000 and that of course dates these to something prior to Windows 7's advent. As the settings for adjusting its digital camera components are highly likely something only a camera specialist would understand, I expect you almost need a cheat sheet to walk you through its use. A photography forum might have a hobbyist familiar with these but I find no information generally available on the web. I am listing the ad which includes some technical details (but no how to). And listing instructions for another binocular digital camera on the off chance that it shares at least some common procedures and guidance. It is a long shot but it is all I can think of to supply. That said, OpticsPlanet is an official dealer of Konus products and seems to have a chat and how to menu to its site.

if you want the schematics etc

We've used them in the past and found them very good.

Also if it is not listed then ask via the link and they

The eyepiece lenses have something on the inside. Can they be removed for cleaning?

  1. Carefully clean your binoculars by firstly removing any dirt or dust from the main body and straps using a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid the lenses at this point using any form of cloth on the lenses before removing all dirt and dust particles first could destroy them.
  1. Gently remove all traces of grit, dirt or dust particles from the lenses using a soft lens brush or canned air specifically designed for the purpose.
  1. Waterproof binoculars can be rinsed gently under a tap but be sure to use on lightly running water, avoid high pressure water as it could damage your binoculars.
  1. Gently remove any remaining marks using lens cleaning tools such as a lens pen or lens cleaning fluid and lens tissue. Do not be tempted to use kitchen towel or anything else lying around that is slightly rough and may scratch the surface of the lens, only use a lens pen, lens tissue or a lens cloth. Gently wipe the lens using a circular motion working from the centre of the lens to the outer edge. NEVER apply lens cleaning fluid directly onto the glass (always apply to the cloth) and always ensure that the lens cleaning fluid you are using is recommended for the type of lens coatings that have been applied to your binoculars (Do not use general household glass cleaning products or products designed to clean computer screens or glasses. Such products could destroy the lens coatings of your binoculars if used).

How do i connect a digital eye piece to my konus opal 5418 microscope?

You can use a Ken-A-Vision Pupil camera and slide it over the eyepiece or if you remove the eyepieces Meiji Techno has a large selection of adapters that will work with most camera's, that will fit in inside diameter of this eyepiece.

I have condensation/moisture in one of the two lenses of my Nikon Action 7x15x35 binoculars

Nikon Action binoculars are not meant to be 'waterproof'. They give the specification to the Chinese factories to construct the bincular to the retail price point. The higher the cost the more features. Water can damage the inside of a binocular as the contaminants in water can cause fungus to grow. Once that happens the glass lenses or prisms are damaged.

You can try to dry them near a warm air source such as blow heater on warm not hot over a period of time. This will help evaporate the moisture. It will not help if fungal bacteria has started to form.

Depending on the use that caused the influx of moisture you may have a warranty claim.

Where do i find the model number on my steiner binoculars?

The model of Steiner binoculars is on the plastic plates on the body. On earlier models mainly the green rubber covered military types is is molded at the front of the body near the objective lenses. These were called the Military/Marine and are of a different specification to the current Military/Marine. The original were a military bincocular which has more in common with the current Steiner Military. If you are after the serial number it is located on the front metal disc between the binocular barrels on a porro prism binocular. A porro is where the objective lenses are spaced further apart than the eyepieces. On a roof prism Steiner the serial number is located underneath between the two barrels on the hinge. Roof prisms are binoculars where the objective and the eyepieces are in line. If the serial number is a 10 digit number the 1st and 3rd numbers will give you the year of manufacture.
EG: 9042577777= 1994
If it is five or six digit number then it is the 1st and 2nd numbers
EG: 871245= 1987

Water inside trying to clean

Why are you using water , which contains impurities

I use alchohol impregnated lens wipes which you can buy over the counter for cleaning spectacles, it also evaporated quickly

Use a lens cloth to polish the glass as it dries off.

Do not over do the application of any liquids on lenses as over time it will seep through the the various elements of the lens causing them to part company and your bino's will lose their sharpness

Water spots inside lenses

On the whole, I'd advise against dismantling binoculars yourself. Unlike most other optical devices, alignement is really important because you need to feed the same image into both eyes. If you're going to end up paying someone to realign the instrument, you might as well get them to do the cleaning at the same time. A.
