Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hermann" data-source="post: 3401969" data-attributes="member: 4925">The 7x42 doesn't have ANY problems with stray light. None. Far better than the 8x30 or, indeed, the 10x40. Mine are recent, so it's not a question of the yellow hue of the older versions.I've got both at the moment. The black one is much lighter, and with the green eyecups of the rubber-armoured version it's really nice. They're far better than the black eyecups. I use three bins on a regular basis, depending on what I'm doing: The 7x42, an old Leica Trinovid 8x32 BA and an old Zeiss Victory 10x40.Hermann</blockquote>
