Hi Kyle,

As i understand it the Lambda series lenses only have axial chromatic  
correction down to 435nm whereas the VC (Violet Corrected) have  
chromatic correction down to 405nm.  As you say i think the overall  
transmission across the spectrum is better in the lambda series.

There may well be other differences.

Regards,

Matt
