While my wife was choosing a new pair of bins for her birthday I twice looked through the SE's among the choice she was offered and each time saw what has been posted in these forums as the blackout effect. She did too and ended up with Nikon 8X30E2's.
Following two trips to Cley marshes and the odd sneak look at home, (hard job prying them out of her hands) I decided that a new pair of bins was in order to replace my 30 year old Swifts.
Thought I might go for HG's as they were also in her line up and I liked them. So while looking at the HG's I was offered SE's to check out. Knowing the blackout experience I had on her viewing, I initially only picked them up to compare with the HG's, after all the reviews here have been very good................... No matter what I did I could not replicate the blackout effect!!! I was so impressed, even compared to roofs costing twice as much NO CONTEST I bought them.
A week later with them glued to my hands I still cannot induce any trace of blackout.
The question is, has anyone else observed this? The shop only had the one pair so I could not check.
