Just had a strange experience with a pair of Denk 21s I wanted to pass along. Got these from a fellow AMarter, and noticed a significant amount of grease on the eyelense...turned out to be lubricant that bled from the rotatable eyeguard mechanism. Morale of the story is -- if you have this problem -- dont panic, just pop off the eyeguard retainer ring and clean the lube off. I guess this lubricant was supposed to make smooth the eyeguard ring movement...Id rather have some metal to metal rubbing than bleeding lubricant.

I have seen a lot of grease on rotating EP eye guards, I always remove it and just leave a very light film of the grease if any, depending on the material of the guard.
