[QUOTE="surgeon260, post: 1568595, member: 103874"] I am not sure what your point is. Who cares if all of the glass isn't pure Fluorite? The point of using Fluorite is to eliminate chromatic aberration. The Kowa 88 succeeds at this (CA is basically nonexistent), so clearly Kowa met their design goals. Also, Fluorite has absolutely nothing to do with light transmission, so I am not sure what difference a dawn/dusk test would make. It just so happens that the Kowa 88 has outstanding low light performance (no doubt aided by the massive objective lens), but that has nothing to do with the use of Fluorite. [/QUOTE]
