There's a simple but expensive solution to the SE image blackout problem. Fly to Japan and buy an 8x30 EII. The fare from Oregon shouldn't be as dear as from the East Coast.

Brock, I still don't believe the EII exists, even having doubts about the SE. Someday.......I'll get to see one.
 
Old Zeiss Jena Jenoptem 8x30w (end of 80th) is very very very nice porros! Wide FOV, light weight and crystal clear picture (sweetpot about 70%).

Newfie,

Here's "proof of life" that the 8x30 and 10x35 EIIs are no ghosts. Also pix next to the SEs.

Thanks Brock. The SE's are the taller ones? You have extenders on them?

Yes, the SEs are taller.

The first photo shows the two EIIs (newspaper with date to provide "proof of life :), the 8x EII has Bushwackers.

The second photo shows the 8x32 SE (with extensions on barrels) and 8x30 EII (with Bushwackers).

The third photo shows the 10x35 EII and 10x42 SE (with FO light shields).

Brock
