Cat's been out of the bag for quite a while, just been harder for some to
catch it.

This MC thing is:
1. hard to understand at first
2. overblown, in my opinion

Is it? I wonder since some have indicated that MC was not just added to lenses, but that the lenses or at least elements of the lenses needed to be reformulated as part of the MC process. Wouldn't that explain the sometimes dramatic improvement demonstrated between the SC and MC model in Gary's lens tests? It seems to be not just the coating, but the lens improvement that is important. And even if it were just the coating who would argue that less flare and more contrast is not a good thing?
