Weather finally cleared this weekend, ….no more ice, ...was time to get out. Took my Torics for a spin at the estuary.
I was very impressed. The view quality was amazing. Great resolution, great detail with contrast.
The colors were what I had hoped, ...contrasty, but realistic.
Since I had a low and very bright sun, I tried to produce glare, flare or veiling. No dice. These are solid glare defenders.
I did learn something I can improve on though. The eye relief is just right for me with cups all the way extended,
however, they are tapered at the end and leave space for the sun to peak in between the side of the cup and my cheek bone.
This produced the obvious effect of the sun rays spoiling the sun side vision. This had nothing to do with optics, it's basically the
same as driving into a setting sun beam. The binoculars were un-effected. The view was darker to my eyes due to sun invasion
into my pupil (contraction), but the optics remained free of glare.
Next purchase: Neoprene eye shields!
