scampo

I'm as neurotic and am now feeling some relief that I might be doing it right (I take great care over the cloth) - IPA is the only thing I know (or methanol / ethanol) that really does "do the job" - I think Pentax recommend it.
I was wondering about the receipt for the Leica scope. It's very odd indeed that someone would lose their receipt for something that cost >£1000, don't you think? Even if they have, they could easily get a relacement from where they bought the scope and this would be proof of purchase required for Leica's warranty. With the receipt in your mit you also would be able to have the remainder of the warranty - which I think you really should have if the scope is really so knew and a relatively unknown quantity; in fact, I can't think of a single reason why this should not be a part of the deal.
About the quality, I'd trust my eyes (especially eyes like yours!) after a good test if I had the Leica warranty behind me just in case.
If the seller won't produce a receipt or tell you where it was from, well - I'd start to think that its provenance was a touch dubious (which means it sure ain't worth £5-600!!).
