Zeiss Terra ED 8x25 collimation

[Highburymark]

I was surprised to find my 8x25 Terra binoculars out of collimation yesterday - I use them all the time, and they hadn’t been dropped or anything, so not sure of the cause. Presume collimation is not something I can do? Never had this problem before and can’t find any guidance on the web. Appreciate any advice.

My Zeiss 10x50 Zeiss Jenoptem went out of collimation within days of purchase, decades ago now.
Dealer not interested. "Must have dropped them!" I hadn't of course.

Faced with instant dizziness and wasted expense I could ill afford, I loosened the objective lock rings.
Then I put the binos on a firm post and fiddled with the second ring rotation.
Slicing a card across the objectives gave me a blink comparator.
The images were vertically challenged.
Human eyes are poorly designed for such misalignment.
Your mileage may vary.

I had assumed the inner rings would be "wedged." They were.
Aligned the images and relocked the outer rings. Job done.
Decades later they remain perfectly aligned.

What this has to go with your binos I haven't a clue.
I just like dropping terms. Like: "Zeiss" and "Jenoptem" and "misaligned" and "user dizziness" into the same [long] sentence.

I'd start looking for a skilled binocular repairer. They may be Nitrogen gas filled.
The binos not the repairer. Though you never know.
Gas purging would seriously complicate your messing about with them.
More likely to do harm than good anyway.

Thanks Rusted. 
Not 100% sure for what, but thanks.

Just checked and they are 3.2% nitrogen filled apparently.

Binocular repairers that is, not the binoculars.

I don't know anything about them other than what's on their website.

Zeiss generally have a good reputation. I would contact them and explain.

Thanks both - I’ll try Zeiss first but if no joy the repair site is a great find.
