Two Pair
I cleaned and oiled the HSI’s by hand and I remember the colors that came off.. it was a lot, but I assumed it was normal since the were unused.. either way it hasn’t affected anything whatsoever since they were cleaned..Yes, CPC's arrive dusty and dirty. Using a microfiber cloth, I remove the dust before edge oiling. My cloth doesn't turn yellow.
With the HSIs, my cloth turned yellow. There was not only the UV dust, but a film on some of them (like the secondary $25s).
New chip dust is one thing; but what we're talking about is on another level...
