If I get the same problem again I will send it to Nikon, but I don't think I would be comfortable with misrepresenting my status as the original owner, whatever I think of the company's claims regarding 'waterproofness' and the limitations of their warranties. If I do need to send it to them I shall quote the information on the instruction manual, in order to point out its apparent inaccuracy and use this to appeal to their sense of customer care. Anyway, this may never happen, and I intend to continue to enjoy the use of an (otherwise) excellent scope, as well as my trusty Nikon HG 8x32 binos (also secondhand and proven waterproof) and my somewhat battered but reliable CP4500.Graham</blockquote>
