Can someone advise please,I have what looks like bubbles in one of the barrels in my opltolyth classic bins 10x40s, they have never been in contact with water or condensation. I asked this in an other thread .they are still under gaurantee and wonder if i should send them back for proper inspection,and or repair ? thanks in advance....

The "bubbles" could be small globules of lubricant that have moved. I had that in a Zeiss eyepiece once which was clear when I bought it.

I did read that Optolyth was no longer imported so I hope you can get a repair under warranty. Certainly the immediate supplier of the goods would be legally required to sort out the problem.
