I haven't mounted my 1278 yet, waiting on new rings that actually fit me SP. But after hearing of some objective lens scratches I took a closer inspection of it.
What I found disturbed me. Shining a flahlight down the tube there was what looked like greasy half crusty and somewhat gritty smudges on the front lens that cover about 20 to 25% of the surface. I don't dare try cleaning it. Has anyone else come across this?
I will be calling Anacortes and Bill today to find out what how they want to handle this.
