If this is a generic pair i.e. non-branded, you can try to do it yourself. Take a look at this:

hi,
i have tried to locate the prism screws but am unable to because it is not on the surface of the binoculars as mentioned in the review

i guess it would be better for me to approach the expert. does anyone do any form of repair over here or know any dealers doing clean up and servicing for the binoculars?

thank you once again.

It is most likely hidden by the rubber coat.

hi there Kayheem, the whole binoculars is made of brass and metal. there is no way for me to see the screws because there are no screws in the first place. just plain metal.

thank you.

Please upload a pic, showing where the screws should be, according to the links I gave.

Hi,

I do not know where you bought it, how much it costs or if there is still warranty. If the is still warranty, you should send it back. If the warranty is out, you can try to remove the screws holding the plate under each eyepiece to see if the collimation screws are there.

However, if these cost a bomb, I would try to search harder for a professional collimation.

hi thank you kayheem. can you please recommend me a professional collimation or probably just anyone doing this because i do not know anyone. i do not want to bring it down to fujinon singpore (bec i own the fmt sx too) as this really not very nice especially since this is a docter optic scope, different brand from them. thank you and hopefully you can recommend to me.
