How thin are the Heliopan coatings?  B+W coatings are, according to
the B+W catalog I have here, about 1/4 wavelength (and a chart is
shown showing the wavelength in the 400nm - 700nm range).  I don't
know what a "nm" is, but since we're discussing wavelengths of light,
I'd imagine it to be very small.
