Message: <blockquote data-quote="matthew_" data-source="post: 3381510" data-attributes="member: 137083">I think I know now the reasons for the image above. I have a monocular. I took off the objective lens from the body and hold the lens itself and look at the reflections of the house. It has the same right side up images and upside down images of the house. I guess the reflections with correct orientation is the front part of the lens. The upside down reflection is coating from the back of the lens. So it is not related to the prism. Now I really forgot if the Habicht 2012 model I viewed before also had the purple reflections. Maybe there was and I just didn't notice (only those who own them can share). Well that's it. It will be all viewing now from now on with my only binoculars and I'd no longer participate here since I won't look for new binoculars anymore. I noticed Birdforums is unique in that people seemed to become friends. In other forums.. they were purely technical discussions only. Here people seemed to know one another. As a result. Sometimes you tell what you do in life like I read in archives. So I just shared what I did. I know it was wrong to say it. I know I shouldn't have mentioned it. Hope some can understand. Thank you.</blockquote>
