If the green and magenta reflections are any indication, the 280 f/4 APO, 180 APO Elmarit and 80-200 f/4 Vario have at least some multi-coated surfaces. The late 35mm Elmarit-R, 60 Macro, 90 Summicron-R, 100 APO, 350 Telyt and f/6.8 Telyts do not have the green and magenta reflections. My three AI Nikkors (50 1/4, 55 3.5 Micro, 300 f/4.5 ED) all show the magenta and green reflections. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
