The amount and type of distortion coupled with the difference in true and apparent fields of view gave a different impression of comfort with each model.Henry, Ron,Please do continue. I am getting most of what you folks are saying this time. In comparing the light transmission numbers in actual percentages I can refer back to what I remember from those German Light Transmission tests of some of the high end bins. If I remember correctly the Zeiss FL was around 92-93% with Ultravid around 89%. The Trinovid was closer to 82%, again, if my memory isn't failing me.Ron,I do enjoy the in-depth technical analysis of the bins' attributes. Would you care to comment more on general overall impressions?</blockquote>
