John told me that his labortory uses the latest in hard coatings but I forgot to ask him if the newer & more magenta coatings would affect the chrome. I have also used Nikkor lenses that a definite blue cast - & yet the chromes were normal to warm ---- Has anyone else had any comparison experience? Does the coating act like a filter? It doesn't seem to, in my limited experience even though I would estimate the color to be at least CC05 with the same film. Mary Grace
