[QUOTE="Matt_RTH, post: 1380078, member: 53715"] Well I was mistaken! Now that I actually see the results, I see the photos were taken with the binoculars reversed! I thought these were basically digiscopes through the bin, which to me would be more indicative of actual use, but I see why taking the photo through the objective to the ep would be more approachable. Well I'll have to do it again but just for fun, I'll post my images. I tried to keep everything as consistent as possible, but didn't stabilize the camera. ISO 1250 1/50 shutter F5.6 aperture 135mm FL White balance = incandescent Manual focus and attempting to focus on the eyepiece of the bin. I intentionally took shot of a less than bright-white surface as I was attempting to check brightness (as opposed to color which was the original topic here, but the results have gone the way of brightness). I may replace this photo once I replicate the other previous tests but to clarify, this is through the ep to the objective. Ignore any odd colors like in the Bushnell photo because it was a reflection. Matt [/QUOTE]
