Hi there, my F5 rubber grip is also pealing... just around the control dial on the front... it is not so bad yet, and I have actually attempted super glue to repair it... I don't know about the warranty, but would certainly welcome the information if anyone has any... Paul Silver Paul Silver Photography & SilverLight Studios Stock, Commercial & Fine Art Photos...
