<< I only told them that Zuiko lenses are compact, fast, good optics in
general and good construction. The nikon friends told me that had one
big problem Multi Coating... What can I say ??? >>
That Olympus quietly improved its coating technology through the mid
1980s and multicoated everything, although we do know that some lenses
like the 35mm Shift, the 1.4X-A and 16mm Fisheye (probably many others)
never had all the elements multicoated. But then, did other
manufacturers skip any elements, too??? Probably.
That the 35mm f/2 Zuiko has the lowest flare level ever tested in a 35mm
SLR lens, due in no part to Olympus blackening the edges of some
elements. Having just blackened the edges of a premium slide projector
lens, I can attest to how well that helps improve contrast.
