Nikon 8x32 SE and I have had a lot of binoculars. Fairly important but not for me a deal breaker. I prefer the Swarovision 8x32 and it is not as good at stray light control as the SE.????
Just wondering which ones you think handle stray light/internal reflections best???
And, how important is it to you???

My Leica (non HD) Ultravid 10x42 handled it very well…

BTW, forget about the Allbinos eyepiece shots. They contain *no* useful information.
My own subjective experience only, from binos I've owned and used in various conditions: best I've had re. stray light (or glare, or diffuse reflections or whatever) are Nikon EDG 8x42 and Nikon SE8x32. I don't like stray light, and although I formerly prioritised wide field, I'm currently happy with slightly narrower field if it eliminates stray light.
Sancho, have you tried the SLC? Just curious.

I wa s wondering if anybody would say the best----- Minox BP porro. Both the 10x and the 8x have the best light control to me.
Strange that those pictures show Zeiss Conquest, Leica Ultravid and the Nikon EDG having excellent filtering compared to other brands... I guess that must mean those pictures are not relevant... |^|
The Zeiss Conquest is pretty good regarding glare(better than the SV) but the SE is a little better. Any big aperture binocular is really good also. For example, the Zeiss 8x56 FL is excellent. Big exit pupils eliminate glare. Because the glare goes beyond the focus stop. I have tried Leica's and I always get too many blackouts with them. I don't know what it is with me and Leica's.I thought the Zeiss Conquest HD was very good in this regard. This is much more important to me than other things.
The new Vanguard Endeavour ED II seemed to handle stray light well and the Zeiss Terra impressed me too.
