I have had Zeiss FL's an IMO they are overall not as good optically as the SV. My point is Swarovski has to make design decisions in manufacturing the SV that are beyond the scope of Henry's thread and these may not allow for reduction of glare under all situations. He is basically knocking the SV and it really doesn't deserve it. It is a tradeoff. If glare control is your priority buy a Zeiss or a Leica. They are better at controlling it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
