Noticed, without much thinking about it, that the eyepiece was loose (thanks, Ted). Out of curiosity, I screwed it out. Cleaned the glass, and screwed it back in. For this I need a "special" tool? Maybe the torque's critical. Could induce spherical abberation or some such thing. I reckon the DOD and Leica confer on prices for tools. How about US 278.98 for "eyepiece wrench, Leica, chrome beryllium, MILSPEC 001556600?"
