OK, back out. refer to previous post for method.
My Pentax PCF WP 10x50 have a bluish/slight purplish/very slight green tinge to the coating. It's difficult to pick up the reflection of my sunlit face. I cannot easily see the outline of my dark hair. I can't clearly make out any facial features, eyes nose or ears. I can pick up a glint of sunlight reflecting off of my glasses. When I look at the reflection of a blue sky in them it looks blush/very slight purplish.
My Pentax PCF WP 16x60 have a yellow green tinge to the coating. My sunlit reflection bounces off them like I'm looking into a mirror. I can see the color of my face, my hair, the detail of all the features on my face. I can clearly see a birthmark on the side of my face. Not only can I see my glasses I can clearly make out the dark frames. When I look at the reflection of the blue sky in them it is a very yellow green. Even in the shade, I can see facial features reflected in the coatings.
The more light you can see reflected in the coatings, the less light gets through.
