When using the Zeiss Victory Pocket 8x25, I can get some strange 'veiling'(?) when I look up into the trees, with, as I start looking more upwards, the contrast strongly dropping and the fresh green of the leaves in the trees turning into some kind of paler/bland green. (And I am a bit colour blind, thus I'm not talking about a very subtle change of green ;-).)
The strange thing is that it seems perfectly uniform across the view (no spot, or crescent part of the view,it's almost as if there was a uniform filter being turned on as I tilt the binoculars upwards) and that I don't have that I think with any of my other binoculars (e.g. UV 8x32 HD, or FL 8x32 or 7x42, or even the small Swarovski 8x20, which does have a bit more glare than the other ones, but in reasonable amount and not surprisingly considering a.o.its small player exit pupil).
Otherwise, the view throughout the Zeiss 8x25 is often very(!) impressive (though not as 'relaxed' as in e.g.the 7x42, of course), especially for its size. Still, that kind of 'veiling'(or should I call it differenly?) has sometimes considerably bothered me.
Has any owner of the VP 8x25 experienced the same thing? Is that to be expected from this model?
They get praised for their optics, and I would tend to agree, but this is one 'issue' making me considering selling it to fund a Swarovski 7x21 (I know it's a different size). But I first would like to hear about it from other users first.
