Tips & Warnings
Use the lens caps when you have the binoculars out of the case. Take the lens caps off (to prevent condensation), and use your binocular case to keep your binoculars clean and protected.
Cleaning lenses with harsh cleaners or rough cloths may scratch them.

I have some old binoculars from my Dad. I know that it's over 50 years old. On the inside of the bottom lens is some kind of spotty film. How do I clean that off? I am scared and do not know how to to dismantle all of the lens. Thank you- Elizabeth
