Prices on some internet sites or around $1250 - seem more reasonable than when they were called Swarovski. Any intel on these - are they available in the US or do you have to go with a European dealer? https://www.kahles.at/de/news/details/helia-s42-fernglaeser Last edited by centershot; 01/06/23.

As far as warranty they Will supposedly support them in the US, however they have had a brand new Kahles 1-6 of mine for 6 months, in Austria, sat in US 4 months before being shipped, so not happy with Kahles right now.
