I bought the 8x30 MHG refurbished. I've had it for about 9 months now with no issues until this week.
I guess the glue has dried out and the rubber over the focuser is loose in a couple spots on the wheel.
I think it's going to get worse and dry out all the way around eventually.
I called Nikon the other day and they couldn't even give me a repair cost until they see it.
It's no longer under warranty. It had a six month warranty if I recall.
Anyone else have this issue with the MHG or any other binocular? I'm going to keep an eye on it. It's not giving me any issues at this time
when turning it. Underneath the rubber is smooth plastic, so I think it will be an issue if the rubber comes totally unglued and doesn't stay
put. Maybe it will stay put even if the glue dries out.
If it gets worse, can I just fix this myself with the appropriate type of glue? Or would you suggest sending it in for repair?
This kind of sucks already.
