[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 898698, member: 34084"] I've noticed that on some scopes. The effective field of view of the eyepiece is larger than the field of view of the erector. The difference in the two fields of view has the appearance of a black ring. I don't think it's a serious "problem". On paper, the field of view of that model at 10X seems low by ~10%, compared to other 3.5x10 scopes. That may account for the effect you're seeing. However, the lower field of view may in part be due to the true magnification being larger than 10X. Magnification values indicated by the model are rarely accurate. The Meopta catalog doesn't list the true magnification. In the end, I think the black ring is more of a "cosmetic" issue. Even though it doesn't look right to some people, it doesn't diminish the performance of the scope. [/QUOTE]
