I ordered a pair of 8x30 Military/Marines last week from an e-bay store with good feedback. They were said to be refurbished but in good condition. They arrived yesterday and a few quick looks in the daytime were clear and bright.
Today I took a look outside around dusk and saw some ghost images inside. At first I thought they must be coming from a car window nearby! But I moved around and tried different directions, and still saw additional ghosts like the ones coming from the glass over a mirror. (There also seemed to be a circle of "more light" inside the eyepiece--it filled almost all of the eyepiece, but there was a pretty definite edge to it also, and the light outside it was weaker. Weird.)
Is this typical for Military/Marines, or should I see about sending them back?
