To pick up where the discussion left off, has anyone encountered yellow ghosts above dark objects with TED 8x32s in the circumstances @cesar describes in the previous post? Just recently purchased a pair new---in part based on reviews and commentary here---and whilst I've not had veiling glare I have found these conditions can cause certain species to sprout second heads. For example, a western grebe renders with a normal looking head plus a yellow ghost matching the black plumage appearing above the bird's actual head. A snow goose (white plumage) in literally the same spot and lighting is unaffected. The same effect occurs with other dark plumage, such as a yellow halo above a coot's body and head. This affects both optics, being visible with both eyes, just the left eye, or just the right. It clears off if the bird moves 15 or 20 degrees away from the sun.
In several decades of peering through various optics I've not encountered anything like this, so curious if this is normal behaviour for Zeiss's optical formula or if my pair's somehow managed to have something consistently out of whack. Aside from the objective caps popping off at the slightest provocation they seem otherwise fine; as other reviewers have noted good quality for a midrange optic, albeit with a tendency to a yellow cast, and pleasant focus action and eye cups. So my guess would be the ghosting is expected behaviour. However, I can't find anyone else mentioning it.
