However I am very aware of the changes in ambient light can make to colour perception and take great care to avoid being misled when I can. Those comments were all based on comparative testing within a few minutes, but obviously my comments cover a number of different occasions. When you have 10 or more Swarovskis in front of you the outliers are obvious. I've done that on three or four occasions and smaller sets several more times.  I've tried a lot of FLs and their view is very distinctive. When the HT and SF were launched I spent some time comparing multiple samples across the different models and on those occasions the new designs were far more neutral than the FL and any variation was within a narrow range. This last occasion there was a single HT, a single FL and five other binoculars including two of my own that I use for reference when reviewing and have compared to the Zeiss models before. The HT on that day was very FL like in my opinion and quite different to the ones I've viewed previously.David</blockquote>
