With glasses on, looking at blue sky, looking in the direction of the sun the effect is least and not dramatically different. As I rotate about 90 degrees to the sun I see a marked differential between left and right eyes with both a brightness difference and a color shift. As I look 180 away from the sun a surreal world is revealed with a sickly colored sky and white/gray looking very odd.I did the two sunglasses trick and of course it darkens the image greatly until rotated 90 to each other where all is black. I'm already familiar with this from astronomy (moon filters).Yesterday when I wrote it works fine, I was concentrating on chrome and water where glare is most evident and it does the job OK there.All the above with Maui Jim glass rose colored sunglasses and Leicas. I tried the same views with Fujinon porros with no adverse effect.I guess I never noticed or even thought about this before as I virtually never wear any glasses when using bins.</blockquote>
