Transmisson of the EL 8x5x42 Swarovski (1 Viewer)

Hey. Cant find in the Internet a Measurement of the newest EL 8x5x42, the third Generation Field Pro. I only see a Measurement of the 2012 Swarovision on AllBinos. And there is a Thing who makese me Thoughtfull. The 8,5x42 has only 86%. And the 10x42 should have 90% plus....
Is that Possible?
 
A Swarovski 2018 EL catalog (yes that's FP) states 90% for all six models. They don't explain what wavelength that's for, or how it's averaged.
 
Aquaplas, post 1,
We measured the following transmission values for the Swarovski EL-SV 8,5x42: 500nm=88%, 550 nm=89%. The Leica Noctivid 8x42 and the Zeiss Victory SF 8x42 showed almost the same values, see the whole test report on the WEB-site of House of Outdoor..

Any reports available on the EL Range TA 8X42?
