Cameras and Lenses

Glare Question?

I just got a pair of Zeiss Victory FL 8x42 today and when I'm using them and moving I noticed a half moon glare at the bottom. There was no sun out. Is this normal? I've never had this problem with my Nikon Monarch's

Thanks,
Darrell

Sounds (looks?) like a form of blackout (white out here?). Make sure you have your IPD set correctly and your eyecups positioned correctly. When it happens again move the binoculars closer to your eye or further away to see if it disappears. Does it happen if the sun is behind you, in front of you or all the time?

Thanks for responding Bob. I have tried moving the eyecups at different heights moving them away from my face. I have already adjusted the IPD. It was a cloudy day yesterday it even happened at dusk. It happens all the time. I even let me wife look through them (I don't think she has ever used binoculars) and asked her how they looked and she said there was a half moon halo at the bottom. At that point I figured it wasn't just me.


Thanks,
Darrell
