Came across this while perusing the "inter-web" on this rain soaked day.
Thought someone would have picked this up already.
From In-Focus Twitter Site.
DISCUSS !

Looks like they've covered their hands in DEET or another plastic solvent, The paintwork doesn't look too bad.

I can’t find In Focus on Twitter and can't find the binoculars on their website.
Probably worth a punt, depending on price.
Swarovski would be happy to re-armour them (for a fee).

And comes with original box and unused soap and brush kit.

Obviously a recent production

Wait! They look a lot like almost every Canon that I have owned.

looks like he's a user and not a collector

@infocusOptics On twitter mar 18, worn down or maybe picked off? If the view was still good I’d gladly give them a nice retirement along with my similarly bald 12x36IS. Maybe the owner didn’t like the “envy green” colour and wanted to be a bit more incognito??

These have only been out of the case a couple of times, and they are like new.

Was it dropped down a garbage disposal?

I think it is a huge shame that Swarovski has thought making armor like that is acceptable or in any way
desirable.

The former owner might have been a stalker hunter who dragged his EL through the "mud, the blood, and the beer."

The bottom line is the optics. Armoring and eyecups can be replaced but if the optics inside look as bad as the outside, fagetaboutit!

Not sure the warranty would be honored. Even Swarovski has their limits.

But look at the good side -- in that condition no one is ever going to steal them -- perfect for travel to dangerous countries.

So true, the outside does not matter if the optics are ok.
We all remember Chandler Robbins' iconic binoculars, they looked a lot worse and still served.

As did Jane Goodall's...

Possibly mis-use (DEET or similar plastic solvent) rather thn a fault with armour.
