Greetings everyone. I'm a newcomer to the forum and a newbie in birdwatching from Hong Kong. I've got a pair of used Zeiss Dialyt 7x42 T* P* supposedly in "excellent used condition" with "defect free lenses" and "intact coating" according to the seller. Much to my surprise, I found the ocular lenses in the condition as seen in the attached photos.
The seller claimed "they were sent to me used with no visible signs of scratches or damage to the lenses" and that "these so called scratches do not affect the imaging".
But these appear to me as scratches or marks that were caused by improper or aggressive cleaning of the lenses over time... :h?: And not something that could just happen overnight?
I am wondering what these scratches really are and if the coating or the lens is damaged?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
