These Leica Ultravid HD+ 8x32 have developed some very slight cracks/bulges under the plastic of the central hinge. It looks as if the hinge is covers with a thin layer of plastic, and the material under this layer is not homogeneous, but it is bulging and causing cracking. I tried to capture this in the attached photo.
Optically these binoculars are perfect.
Should I send them in due to the cracking / bulging? Or should I just disregard these mostly cosmetic problems?
