I recently bought a used MC 135 / 2.8, s/n 143***. The glass at both ends
looks in really excellent condition as does the appearance of the internals
as viewed through an 8x loupe...... about mint in my opinion. I have run a
couple of rolls of print film and I have no complaints at all.
Unlike the glass in my MC 100 / 2.8, which reflects a very noticeable
amount of mid to deep green and little else, the glass in the MC 135 / 2.8
generally reflects an equal intensity of mid to deep purple with a much
less amount of mid green. However, at some optimum angle to the light, the
reflection of green is indeed unmistakable.
Is there any peculiarity over this "purple over green" as I had been under
the impression that "green ruled" in MC lenses?
