Hello,
I recently needed a pair of binoculars for hiking, skyview and found a store
that only had the Bushnell 12x50 and an Olympus 12x50.
I bought the Bushnell because of the wider field of view yet later on when I
was on the mountain I've observed that this binocular shows some purple
fringing mostly where light meets shadow or sometimes even a different
color.

I didn't want to spend a lot of money from the start on a good pair of
binoculars since these are my first pair. My question is, if I'll upgrade
later to another pair of 12x50 and probably chose a more expensive pair,
will this purple fringing be less noticeable or is this something normal?
That's about the only 'problem' I see with this particular pair.

George
