Vermillion. I use them for Skeet and sporting clays. The orange of the clays lights up neon with the vermillion lenses in any lighting condition, but especially at night with the halogen flood lights. As to glare, the angle of the lenses to your face is adjustable up and down. I live in South Florida and the bright sun here never glares off of my lenses. But the color of the lenses does not stop a lot of light from coming into your eye like sunglasses do. So no glare but very little brightness protection.

Vermilion. You can wear them under any lighting conditions from bright sun to night time.

Blue Mirror are the most effective in daytime, and they actually look the best IMO.But you can make your own mind up at: http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/sunglasses.html

I just received my order. Right on the side of the box for Model DPG28 it has a label that says: "99.9% UVA-UVB Protection."Can we please just retain what we "think" and only share what we know? I was wondering this same thing before I ordered, and the comment below almost caused me to not purchase them. Then I figured that it would almost be impossible to have darkened lenses that don't offer any such protection, so I looked it up online and found a vague answer saying that they did offer some kind of protection. Very pleasantly surprised to see that they offer such thorough protection! I just received my order.

Same as the answer above regarding glare. Have had the set for about 6 weeks now. Very pleased.

I have the 17-40 and the 17-55 IS. I thought I would sell the 17-40 once I got the 17-55 but I can't. I have decided to keep both. The color saturation and clarity is excellent on both. For now I'm holding on to both of them. They are that good.

it says DLP Active Shutter to use... i bought 2 SainSonic Rainbow Series 3D Active Rechargeable Shutter Glasses (Black and a Blue one) and i havent had a problem yet. when you go to enable 3d, in setting, on type of glasses it will go to DLP-Link but it has a setting to change it to IR, im assume its for IR emiiter glasses. but i cant tell if those glasses will work, only SainSonic

I sent my pair back as they didnt work for me. There sre lots of variants of colour blindness... mine is quite mild. The glasses actually cut down what green I could percive so I was worse off. Hope that helps. Dave

I just received a pair today and used a color spectrum test image (and I'd tried others as well). Here's a link to it if you're interested. https://www.paleohacks.com/sleep/will-plain-red-or-orange-lenses-block-blue-light-for-sleep-17104 These were the only glasses that showed true blue blocking. I'm thrilled as I spend way too many hours under fluorescent lighting and in front of a computer screen. At my my age I couldn't care less whether they're stylish or not. I do like the S1933X though, better for comfort... lightweight.

I agree with Brent's answer if I recall correctly on the function, tough I have resold this light in favor of replacing it with another light. The InForce was a great little tac-light. My only concern was one of cosmetics, as it is listed when I bought it as FDE but was not the same as a standard Magpul(like) Flat Dark Earth in color. It was quite a bit lighter in color (more like a light tan) and did not exactly match the custom FDE AR-15 I was building. I believe they list it as tan now. I seem to remember the function as: 1 tap constant, 2 taps strobe, 1 long tap gets you momentary... I really did like the little size of it, shape & mounting. Very cool!

I guess it's really a matter of preference. Black blocks stuff out. So does gold, but the gold offers some glare that might add some additional protection in the right settings. I've seen some gold ones, and I actually still prefer the black.

I've been using the 14-24mm f2.8 for a year now. Tack sharp! No lens creep. I was worried about no filters to protect glass also. Built in lens hood protects front element well enough. Lens cap fits OVER hood when not in use. I am comfortable with that. No VR doesn't seem to be an issue, as a lot of light comes through the glass and allows higher shutter speeds I feel. I generally shoot with a standard ISO of 400 to kick it up the speed a bit. Great lens. I also use the 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses, both at f2.8 as well. Throw any pic from these three lenses on you monitor and you could cut yourself on the sharpness. LOL. I've been using the 14-24mm f2.8 for a year now. Tack sharp! No lens creep.

One more thing where I see Nikon's superiority - the lens barrel have built-in treads for mounting photo filters and/or tulip shade to prevent direct sun glare into the lens - crucial feature for taking sunset shots. Oh, I'll be remiss not to mention range finder type viewer (in addition to the standard lcd display on the back of a camera), a very useful feature in shooting against the light source (sunset), because viewing of your lcd display in certain light conditions (such as your sunset takes) could be problematic at times! Cheers :-)

the glr225 is no good in bright sun.buy a target to aim at or and old auto reg. plate works good in sun.i have aimed at the top of a tall tree and had a reading as long as the beam was on the wood and ambient light was very low (near dark )

I think that is more user preference. For myself I find that the green is more visible during the day. Others will say that green gets lost in the green foliage if you are by trees etc.. but I have never had a problem with that. The green in the scope is so much brighter than what nature throws at you. Another thing is cost, the red is usually more expensive.

Not sure ... i am considered color blind because i cant pass the ishahara test ...but i can see colors just fine , such as traffic lights & rainbows etc. the oxy Iso glasses did not help me at all ...in fact , i made my own glasses with a $ 5.00 pair of lightly tinted glasses from walmart ..popped out the lenses ..put red thin film over the lenses & popped them back in ...with them i can see 19 out of the 24 ishahara plates ...anyway if you want to try the Oxy-Iso glasses they are super easy to return and get a full refund on if they dont work ..which i doubt they will anyway ...hope this helps ...good luck !!!

Hello Craig, I bought the standard ones because I like the shiny look.I have used anti glare before and it seems OK.it does seem like you lose a little definition if you do use anti glare. If you are using it in a really bright area all the time then I'd say get it.otherwise I'd prefer the standard.

The solid color is consistent and bright. The multi color is fun, but as the batteries start to drain, certain colors (white/red) can be harder to see. It can present a problem if it is coming at you fast and then changes to white light and you lose your depth perception on it and it hits you in the teeth. If you go with just a pure blue or green, I think it is easier to see and use overall. My solution: Just get both!

This might actually be a question best answered by the company itself (www.allencompany.net), I have no reservations myself in using them not only for elimination of light glare and "extra" eye and lens protection over my prescription glasses but what I am protecting against are small particles that may be associated to a non-full burn of gun-powder, as well as shell casing from mine or a partner nearby when they eject out of a side port. Larger chunks of wood, sawdust, or small shards of metal from say a missed screw or nail in the wood would be slowed down for sure on impacting these glasses but when it comes to your eyes you can never be to carful.
