I have one and as long as I use it indoors or on a real hazy day outdoors, it is fine. But put any bright light source in the area and it flairs like mad. Mine is a tad better since Sherry cleaned it, but still not very good in bright light. That is why i am looking forward to the new Summarit 90 with the lower price. Or I may just go for the 90 AA used if i can find one at a decent price.
