In the thumbnail you can see the image of another house reflected in the objective lens.. notice the green reflection has the correct orientation.. but the purple reflection is upside down (and its size is changing getting bigger as you get closer to the lens)! If I move the binocular to the left, the purple view would enclose the whole objective lens.. so I'm sure if it is in the objective lens or prism (where is the spherical lens surfaces located?)) as Binastro theorized. But if it is in the prism or the spherical lens surfaces behind the prism, how come the image is in the objective lens even if the prism is not directly viewed? I'm very ignorant of all this. Hence all my questions. If you have answers and would like to share it in private. I'd keep the exchange completely secret. I'd also ask this in other forums. I shared the picture here so you can find it out yourself because the objective lens may really be just green as the previous 2011 year onward batch show.. and the purple may just be from the prism (how)?  Thanks for sharing. I really love my Habicht because it has sparkles in the images.. i think it's because all white are accurately reproduced and Tobias said it can transfer contrast down to the resolution limit. Being a porro and 3D that none of the alpha roofs can duplicate. I think it is my ultimate binocular that will last me thru decades.  I'll start to view the birds this weekend. Happy day.</blockquote>
