Thanks for clearing that up VB. The next time I see a cow on the ice in Sweden I will make sure I keep my ass on the land :-O Lee -
GPO HD 10x42
Hi BB I used to work for a Swedish company called Forsheda based in the small village of Forsheda just to the west of Varnamo in Smaland and from time to time I heard people say 'there is no fire in the roof' meaning that there was no emergency, no need to hurry, nothing is urgent.

As it happens I was looking into dark walls of vegetation today for other reasons and didn't detect any glare at all despite the sun being low at this time of year and directly above the vegetation. Lee -
GPO HD 10x42
LOL. Nah the 8x42 is more than fine in this regard but I haven't tried a 10x like Peter. However I did notice that correct eye alignment was important. Lee -
GPO HD 10x42
David Peter will no doubt reply for himself but I would like to mention I am currently reviewing an HD 8x42 and this is really impressing me with its level of contrast in just the way you mention in your post. More follows when I post the review but in the meantime I can report that the 8x42...
