I was pretty surprised to discover opticron HDF eyepieces are not waterproof?
Are the standard zoom waterproof?
I then couldn't find out if Kowa long eye relief/wide angle eyepieces were waterproof?
Is this common in the birding world and is it a problem?
And if so, what is the solution?
Im sure I've used my IS60 with waterproof case and HDF eyepieces without thinking about water damage in the rain.
Also Celestron tell me their zoom for my old Ultima scope is waterproof.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
