There's an interesting summary of observations of the "black drop effect" on
Sky & Telescope's web site here:

Apparently, few visual observers this time around saw anything like the
descriptions of the black drop in earlier Venus transits. The change is tentatively
attributed to the greatly improved optics available today.
