Hello all, new to this forum but long time bird lover (mostly do photography but lately gotten into enjoying just watching them as well). I have a pair of Swarovski 8x30 SLC WB Mark II, which I think are lovely to use; however I am not entirely fond of the lens covers that are attached to the front since they flop around and get in the way a bit.
Looks like they can be removed by stretching the rubber ring a bit, but is it OK to leave them off? I presume the waterproofing is not relying on a rubber ring there, but am not familiar with the construction. Would probably leave them off entirely or maybe put on a pair of flip-up covers (like Butler Creek).
cheers!
