    Sad to see this. Claim warranty then.

    Tommy, I wish I could but the warranty has already expired. I didn't buy the Sky 3 Ways Assurance. Well, this was not introduced by then. I wonder if the warranty covers non-factory-defect. :x

    Good luck making or getting a new one. The optics in your LX90 are made as a set. You will likely never get it working as well again unless you get a corrector and can do a null test on the complete system

    I've taken the photo of the diffaction pattern of the LX90. It really looks awful.

    Maybe some superglue and black nail polish?
  • Robin Lee · 8 months ago
    Superglue will not really work as it may spoil the curve of the lens. Black nail polish?? I don't have an idea if it will work. My current plan is to block the cracked part with cardboard. As a result, I will have an aperture reduced scope.
