Read from a few sources (probably all originated from the same) that the light transmission for

- positive red iridium 15%
- positive red iridium polarized 18%

Is there a typo mistake here?
I have always got the impression that polarized always have lesser light transmission than the original without.

Anyone owning both +red and +red polarized can please confirm which has more light transmission?
 
I have often wondered about a typo too.
I've both lenses, and for the life of me, can't perceive a 3% difference either way, any way...

Thanks for the input, this still makes me wonder as it is against the norm (polarized normally reduce light transmission)
