[QUOTE="Binastro, post: 3616099, member: 111403"] What my Schmidt & Bender 15-60x60 scope is notable for is internal fungus. One day I'll try to clean it. The objective seems to have a rather curved surface. At least it cost little. P.S. Just spent half an hour cleaning the Schmidt & Bender and the fungus has gone. The fungus did not etch the inner surface of the objective. The isopropyl alcohol fumes are a bit strong. I should have opened the window. Cleaned the outer optical surfaces with Baader optical wonder fluid. Need to clean up the rubber armour edges a bit still. The shop did not know what the scope was so charged very little as an unknown item. P.P.S. As the tubes are collapsed the air seems to escape from the tripod holes with a hissing sound. 1/4 inch and 3/8inch. Don't know what happens if the scope is attached to a tripod when closing the tubes. [/QUOTE]
