Hi List,
I subscribed after a few years again, but I'm not sure
for how long I'll be able to manage an avalanche of
about 200 mails a day...
Anyway, one or more participants brought up the point
of "yellowing" of old SC Zuikos.

I do have an old 1.4/50 serial 145xxx and an old
1.8/50 serial 887xxx. Both their coatings are
yellow-orange these days.
But I thought that's just how they always were? Are
you saying they kinda bleached out? If so, what WERE
the original colors of these coatings?? I wonder how
good anybody's memory still is on that after the 25+
years... :-)
greetings,
Thomas Haegin
