Hi! I was a happy owner of Ultravid HD+ 7x42 until yesterday I discovered that there is something wrong with one of the front lenses. I write this post to get advice what could be the reason of this defect, maybe some of you had similar problem.
On the inner side of the front lens there is something that look like a scratch and it is surrounded by foggy blob, but it is definitely not a fog. Around it there are two circular cracks. It is only visible if under bright light (like flashlight), normally it is very hard to spot, almost impossible to see under normal light. So it is possible that it was there since the beginning and I just didn't catch it when I was looking at the lenses after purchase.
I don't see any degradation of the image caused by this imperfection. I tried to look through both lenses I can't tell any difference between the faulty and the good one.
However it worries me, something like this should not happen and I'm thinking about sending the binoculars for repair under warranty.
Please take a look on attached photos. I will appreciate any suggestions, maybe someone experienced something similar. Thanks!
