Helo Collinvue,
What are the specifications of the binocular: 8x32?
Happy bird watching,

Hello Collinvue,
The exit pupil of an 8x32 is not more than 4 mm, and could be less. This means that the objectives, the eyepieces and your eyes have to carefully aligned to see things. Misaligment of all three may cause your problem, which would be most evident in daytime, when you pupil is rather less than 2 mm. Try moving the binocular to see if everything clears up. There is also the possibility of loss of collimation.
I hope that others may add their thoughts.
Happy bird watching,
Arthur

Wouldn't daytime viewing make it better, when eye pupil is smallest? It seems when the pupil is larger (in dim light) it would be worse. Or, is my brain thinking backwards again?

Hi Arthur,
maybe slightly more noticeable bright conditions, only noticed the 'gray out' on the right side of FOV.
~ Do you feel its more of a exit pupil situation, than lens alignment..?
thank you again,
Brian
edit: I don't mean to hijack this thread, my question is not regarding ZR binoculars,
its simply a FOV discussion.
