I just checked using bare branches against a bright cloudy sky. If the FL is better off axis (and I don't think it is) you'd have a hard time telling because the CA will hide in the blurred edges.The main thing that stuck out in this comparison, under these conditions, and aside from the edges, was the color. The FL gave the bright white/gray sky a slightly tobacco-stained look. I remember seeing this years ago, and I was surprised because I always thought the FL had great, neutral color. But there it is, once again. At the time I called it just a bit "dingy," in comparison with the SV's. I have no idea if this is the same "green" color cast that some see in the SF.The Sightron (I checked that too) was a bit beyond the Zeiss in the direction of yellow. Many have commented on that. It was a bit behind in the CA department, too, but really not bad at all. Many have sad that, too. It's a great, little all-rounder.Hope this helps, but ultimately it'll be up to your eyes to make the call.Mark</blockquote>
