I will be sure to make a point of comparing it to the Swaro SLC first (before my perception becomes influenced by any Swaro 10x50 SV 'aliveness', or Zeiss HT 'clarity').I think comparitively looking through on hand SV's and (HT's) when I was able to test the full SLC range informed my opinion of them as ordinary somewhat, since for the Swaro's at least, there is not much between the SLC and the SV in terms of raw transmission numbers, but the colours just seem so much more 'alive' through the SV's (particularly the 10X50) ...... I would really like to know the details of any differences in glass grade types between the SV and SLC (my hunch is that the SV's may contain some HT or similar type glass), and also if there are any differences in the level of coatings (lenses and S-P mirror) between the two.????   :cat:Chosun  :gh:</blockquote>
