Hi Foxy, Lou and all.

Foxy, concerning the coating you write:

Auto-T

You forget that some lenses with silver rim and with some letter before
Zuiko are multi-coated. ( 24mm J Zuiko f 2, 35 mm H Zuiko f 2, ...)

WW2 era ? Are you talking about colour or B & W pictures ?
Usually, Do you use colour prints or slide film ?
Have you check your 200 f 5 "F Zuiko" (sc) vs 200 f 5 "Zuiko MC" (mc) on a
sunny landscape with your camera and lens on the shadow, with slide film ?
(I´m not talking about the effect of the sun over the front of the lens,
I´m talking about the quality of the colour, the contrast, etc, etc.).

I don´t know John Shaw, but I think this statement of the matter is not
right, because we all on the Oly List try a good technique with an
excellent (OLY) gear.

¡ The coating matter goes on !
