In the dark (winter) season I tend to prefer my 7x42 FL:s over the 8.5x42 SV:s.Did you try putting hoods on the objective lenses? Wonder if the monarchs will be possible to dismantle in a non-destructive way?What is bit strange is the variance within models. According to Allbinos the 8x32 UVHD:s have very low internal reflections, the 8x42 is not as good, and the 10x42 is the worst of the three. Not sure if theses results correlates with perceived glare/flare in real reviews though.</blockquote>
