I do not believe these values because we as yet did not find such high transmission values in binoculars with Schmidt-Pechan prisms. Moreover, in the Kite Lynx 8x30 and 10x30 (binoculars from the same company if I read the different posts here) we found transmission values which were lower that 90% in the wavelength region 500-550 nm. The CL companion scored at least 5% higher in this wavelength region and more light yields better eye resolution generally.Gijs</blockquote>
