You can't have too much contrast, and high contrast requires, as I see it, high transmission (the higher the better), a flat transmission curve and excellent baffling to get rid of as much stray light as possible. "Too much contrast" makes no sense at all.And if people are complaining that one particular binocular is "too bright", they need to put on sunglasses in bright conditions. Or ask the manufacturers to provide filter threads and appropriate filters. In some conditions, for instance on sunny days on snowy ground in the mountains, such filters would be very useful ideed. Some of the older binoculars, for instance the Russian ones, were provided with strong yellow filters for such situations.Hermann</blockquote>
