    Quoted from robertmee:

    I appreciate the time and effort that went into this report and video's. I'm sure the amount of editing and installing/removing glasses took your entire week/weekend. However, I'm going to be the first to complain (SORRY!!). Couldn't you use a stationary tripod that kept the viewing angle the same between glasses? Both the AFM and CV shots between PDI and Bob's glass are at different angles or at least different zooms. As you know, with light, any variance in angle and distance is going to bias the results one way or the other. Or was the camera the same and the variance is in editing?

    I agree with this. But it still seems pretty evident to me that the PDI glass is clearly the winner. The Bobs Ultimate glass merely seems to make the glare/reflections a bit less severe that regular glass. Frankly, if I'm going to spend what the Bob's Ultimate costs, I'd bite the bullet and go all out for the PDI glass. I love my PDI glass and can't wait for my next couple of sheets to arrive in a couple of weeks.

    I can't wait for the JJP glass either, especially since I am in need of some widebody glass.

    Quoted from wesperron:

    Very interesting.
    I have PDI in my TZ and I don't think it's worth it.
    So I don't think this other glass would be worth it either.
    It's like trying to reinvent the wheel...regular glass works just fine and is good enough for me.

    What is your definition of "works just fine"?

    My pins that don't have PDI glass look dull and lifeless in comparison to the pin I have it on
