Thumbs down ED2 EPs aoe Quality lacking

Broken Eye Piece?/flashes of white-white wash?

Hi,
I am having trouble with one particular eye piece amongst my set. Unfortunately it is one of my more expensive ED2 EPs.

The problem goes a little like this. You know how sometimes if you get your eye to close or to far away, how a white flash of light washes out the object in field of view. I thought this was due to the way I was looking in the eye piece, and so have tried finding the perfect distance to match the exit pupil and so forth.

The EP is an ED2 3.8mm with a rather larger glass area to look through as opposed to my standard 4mm plossel that has more like a pin point sized hole to look through. Mind you though, the cheaper 4mm plossel gives a much better view over the ED2 without the flashing/white wash image.

I have taken the 5 element ep apart/cleaned and checked spacing ext...but still have the same exact problem...I also get the same problem on different scopes. The ED2 12.5mm does not do this???

I am at a complete loss...any ideas would be good,
Thanks,
Dave
