Germany Takes Engineering Honors
German Technical Engineering
The first batch of parts arrived today from one optical purchase order. Parts are from the USA, Canada, and Germany.
After examining parts and components for quality issues, several conclusions were formed. The analysis is characterized by country.
The highest quality and most supreme engineering came from Germany. The German parts and components manufactured are flawless and receive our top honors in all departments. There are no faults whatsoever with compatibility, sizes, holders, threads, barrels, slides, knobs, click stops, mounts, finishing, design, anodizing, knurling, shields, labeling, etching, engraving, end caps, supporting components, instructions & English clarity, finishing, packaging, and the full operation of each device was perfect. Thumb screws are larger than normal and work better than usual. Coatings are flawless. The thread fittings are unusually perfect and flawlessly mated and turn as smooth as silk. The extra unexpected features are wonderful, such as three varying threads built in for super compatibility, an extra place to smoothly focus, multi rubber eye guard, and a special design for multiple use.
The parts from the USA were a different story. The extremely heavy ocular came with a piece of paper stuck in the threads, stating: do not unscrew the barrel or the lenses will fall out and the warranty will not apply! The instructions talked about an adjustable height eyeguard adapter which was not included.
The remaining parts came from Canada. There are no noticed defects, however, the photo from the supplier showed the part with pieces of sharp metal flashing sticking out. It's the manufacturing companies strange standard practice to provide only one lens cap for protecting one side of the optics and not the other. Plus, several companies said the box was mislabeled regarding optical correction.
