Leupold Glass Discoloration

[NrthFrk16]

Lightly used VX3i, have always kept covers on but noticed this today. Is it a scratch? Or manufacturers issue?

That looks like hell man...but it's hard to tell what's going on from that photo. At first glance it looks like a coating's coming off in small spots, but that could just be an artifact of the image, not the reality. Can you get a closer shot?

 

[NrthFrk16]

Yeah. There are two distinct areas of funkiness. Circled in red.

 

[RockAndSage]

Yeah...that's pretty rough. Hopefully Leupold will cover that under warranty. What are you using when you clean your optics?

 

[NrthFrk16]

Cool. I’ll drop them a note. I tend to use what I use for my glasses, and that is just a microfiber cloth.
