Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Pissed at Zeiss

Why does Zeiss Canada not match the $100. Christas rebate Zeiss offers to their US customers. If you say "EH" bend over.
Our dollar is near par yet suggested retail on 8 by 30 still 725 Canadian, 650 USD plus 100 dolllar rebate equalls 550 USD. No wonder we shop at Cabellas sometimes. Shame on you.
I will never purchase another Zeiss product.

Well, too bad they don't match the rebate, but it may be because their products still sell well in Canada as is.

I can say that the pair of Zeiss binoculars that I got 27 years ago in Canada is one of my best purchases ever. They have been dropped, subjected to extreme vibration in helicopters and bush planes for hundreds of hours, submerged (and they are not even a model advertised to be waterproof), dropped from a high observation tower... and they are still perfect.

I am a biologist and I likely use my binoculars more in year than any hunter would in a decade (or two).

Buy'em anyway! You will not regret it.

I did all my hunting with a pair of 6 by 20 B's bought in 1974. Cost then was 199. Canadian dollars. New Jeep CJ-5 cost 5000. bucks at the time. Still have them but want to retire them to a nice drawer.
Still hate being disscriminated by Zeiss and the real looser are Zeiss Canada dealers.
BTW.
