[QUOTE="dingbat2k, post: 1930615, member: 84419"] [b]Pictures showing glitters and grease[/b] I am in possession of a Leica Ultravid 7x42 (non-HD), and a Leica Ultravid 7x42 HD, both bought used. Today, I took photos of binoculars showing where there are glitters. Of interest is: * Leica Ultravid 7x42 (non-HD) had glitters in the right barrel but NOT left barrel (Images 01-02) * Leica Ultravid 7x42 (HD) had glitters in both barrels, and more glitters than the non-HD (Images 03-05) * Leica Ultravid 7x42 (HD) had grease located inside both the left and right barrel, outside of the zoom track (Images 04-05) Any thoughts? I am thinking of returning the HD that I just bought. They have the scratches on the zoom bridge and I fear they may have been mistreated. Addendum: I also noticed under florescent light, the non-HD has a bluish tint/reflection to it, whereas the HD does not (it's yellowish). Anyone also notice this? [/QUOTE]
