Zen Ray ED2 8x42 and 10x42 evaluations and review (1 Viewer)

In my pair of ED2 8x43 I looked at a branch against an overcast sky and saw a red outline on the left side of the branch. What is that?

Also, when looking with the sun behind my back and a piece of chrome reflecting the sun there would be a crescent of white on the bottom half of the view ruining half of the contrast. Is this normal? I ask because I don't remember noticing this before or the red outline.

Could it be that education here is enabling me to notice imperfections that once were invisible to me?

That color sounds like a little lateral CA. I suspect your eyes aren't quote aren't quite centered. Check your bins have the correct IPD and are centered on your eyes.

Same with the veiling glare crescents: move the bin in the direction of the crescents to center the eyes.

Depending on your face shape, wearing bifocals and how you hold bins you might find you hold the bins slightly above the optical axis of your eyes.
