But both Fluorite and FPL53 are much farther from "normal" glass line than KzFS-1 (hence better color correction/spherochromatism possible).

BTW, Fluorite has higher homogenity than ANY produced glass. If there was H10, it would be called that. The Russian OK4 would be very similar.
And I must apologise!

I was wrong about the AP155 EDF .... your comments jogged a distant memory, and I should have dug a little deeper prior to making any comment or review.

I had corresponded some years ago with Roland on the EDF and frankly had forgotten the details.

His comments are now in the review, which has been revised accordingly!
