EdZ,

That is a brilliant piece - many thanks.

In the table in my PANORAMIC BINOCULARS, Part 2! topic I have included, where available, the transmitted percentage of light. Steiner claim a remarkable 96% for their XP models, Fujinon 95% for their FMT-SX. It seems these makers have cracked vignetting!

Presumably it is possible to measure light in/light out, which would make an interesting lunch-time laboratory excercise for one of our optical experts?!
