Lunt Sunoculars 8x32 recall?

Post by Montana »

I've been trying to find a pair of Lunt Sunoculars 8x32 for the past week and every shop is 'out of stock'. Woodland Hills responded to say that they are discontinued and so couldn't get any.

The Hubby then found this on Amazon and won't let me buy them. It says that they have been recalled as they are unsafe to use. Is this true? or just another Amazon hoax like the Eclipse glasses of 2017 fiasco.

Yes I saw that but they also come at a very big price and £10 for shipping too! more than a third extra compared to Bresser and other European shops. I bought a pair from here at the same price as Bresser were selling at (but not in stock).

No idea whether they will come or not. All the reviews come from dodgy Amazon ;)
