I would suggest a small amount of WD40, applied with a cotton bud.Hope this helps,

Unfortunately if they are out of alignment you need to take them to a service center. It can't really be fixed at home without a device known as a collimator. Binoculars can fall out of collimation if they have been knocked or dropped. Jenoptems were made by the defunct East German Carl Zeiss Jena. Zeiss was split in two after WW2 with Jena being on the east. The current Zeiss firm is the West German company. Zeiss Jena ceased to be after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is unlikely that the current firm would fix these for you. If they did the price would be greater than several pairs of Jenoptems.

Before you do take them check to see if they have a seven digit serial number. If it is six digits they are fake Jenoptems. There were many fake Jenoptems sold in the eighties by UK dealers. There is even a myth that they were made under licence in Japan. A myth is all that information is. There is no documentation to substantiate this and was probably spread by sellers trying to legitimise an inferior product.

leitz or zeiss???? larry@reichinstruments

sounds like center hinge is loose..has to be taken apart to repair ..larry@reichinstruments

To tighten up the binoculars you need to remove the adjuster cap (arrow on picture below). Once that is removed you will see a screw that you can tighten to make them stiffer to separate.



Good Luck and please accept the answer and please leave a testimonial

I have the same problem: did you ever find a solution?
