Maybe it comes from the fluorite glass Zeiss uses to control CA. Fluorite is green.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> I have had many Zeiss FL's in the past and I have always observed a very slight green tinge and in Leica's and Nikon's I have always seen a slight reddish tinge color cast and really just thought that was a characteristic of that brand. The Leica's have a warm reddish color saturated image. That is one reason why I have preferred Swarovski's like Cyclist over the years because to me they had better clarity and color rendition than the others. The Swarovski's color rendition is neutral in general and they don't add any off colors. I guess when I look at a bird I want to see his "True Colors" unhindered by some greenish or reddish tint. I wonder if the members that don't see the greenish tint in their Zeiss SF's have ever compared them side by side with a neutral binocular like the Swarovski. Like Cyclist said if he hadn't compared them with the Swarovski's he would have been satisfied with the Zeiss SF's. You could become very used to a binoculars color rendition and never even realize you are not really seeing a true white but instead a greenish tinge without side by siding the binoculars. Kind of like when you think your old TV has a great picture until you get a new UHD one. <a href="https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&tab=ww#hl=en&q=true+colors+song" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&tab=ww#hl=en&q=true+colors+song</a></blockquote>
