OK- probably dumb question, but I think I need clarification: I always thought "fog free" binoculars meant that the OUTSIDE of the lenses would not fog... so I bought Nikon Monarchs 7 which, like many other decent binocs state that they are fog free. However, when I take my binoculars out of my air conditioned house into this heat- they immediately fog up... so I thought that my binocular seals had been damaged and I need to send in for repair.... BUT I have been reading sites that state that "fog free" DOES NOT refer to outside of lens fogging up- is that true? If so- does everybody have this problem with outside of lens fogging up no matter how fancy binocs are and is there any way to fix it? Seems like hear a bird I want to see- run inside and get my binoculars and then run outside only to have them fog up and by time they clear- bird is gone.
