I suppose the ED50 may not be as robust as some other scopes, that's not a reason to paint with such a broad brush. I seem to recall Kowa TSN and Leica 77 scopes breaking in two, occasionally and once upon a time, and they weren't plastic. We're up to a grand total of two citing a problem with these scopes. By my way of figuring, not an epidemic.Other companies have, at times, also had missteps regarding warranty issues. I do agree it's a fool's errand for Nikon not to fully cover this repair however.</blockquote>
