vlnikolic Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 hello everybody, this morning i've received my st120 scope, and some equipment.. i've received lacerta 30 mm 2" ED as well. i am not sure if this eyepiece is maybe damaged, so i would like to hear your opinion. eyepiece is very pleasant to use, and it seems to me that it works well, although i've tried it during daytime - just to check it. however it is possible to see a small cracks or maybe some foggy production residues in two sides / in the very end of the ocular. please see pictures and videos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/HR4PTQsfFjn6eK6F7 since i have very limited experience, my question would be: is this eyepiece damaged? thanks vlad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightspore Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Difficult to tell but it looks like fungi or some form of mould. This is a known problem with some EP coatings I believe. If the EP was new I'd return it for a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlnikolic Posted September 8 Author Share Posted September 8 thank for the reply. in other forum i get the answer that looks adequate - it seems that it is the lens fungus. i would do it as well, but i purchase it in another country - thus logistic problems seems to be larger then the problem itself..

Nightspore Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 If the fungus is on an external lens you may be able to clean it. Yeah, sometimes there can be problems with overseas returns. Brexit hasn't helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Brush Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Was the eyepiece a new purchase? If so contact the seller. Return of a defective product should not be your problem. It is up to the seller to agree a course of action with you to replace, repair, or refund. Did you pay by credit card? If the seller does not make an agreeable response, contact the card issuer. Your purchase was from the car and they take responsibility for the transaction. Including refund if required. Did you pay by paypal. Whether for a new or used eyepiece. There is a refund policy in operation there. Let us know how you get on. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
