So, my trusty old Heine streak retinoscope has died after 10ish years of use. Got it at a decent price back then by sharing a group purchase with a group of optometry students, but current prices are nearly double that of other reputable brands.
Repairs mean sending it back to Germany due to a lack of local techs. And footing those bills if so.
As such, I'm now hunting for a new retinoscope, and have agreeable quotations from both Welch Allyn and Keeler... any feedback on which may be preferable? Have used a Neitz (currently no local dealer) and also both of the above brands when I had to borrow a colleague's retinoscope before, but infrequently enough that I can't say for sure if I noticed significant differences from what used to be my Heine.
University retinoscopes were a mix and match between older Neitz and Welch Allyn models... sufficiently long ago that I can't recall any outstanding models or manufacturers.
