Strangely, the 55 shows very little discoloration, but the 50 darkens a little with age. I'm trying to rejuvenate the 50/1.4 because I like the look it gives wide open, even if it is basically a little warm. Here is my favorite from the 50/1.4, about 8 years ago: http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Katie+Grace+_amp_+Kristin.jpg.html Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA On 3/20/2017 11:46 PM, Paul Roark wrote: > Jim Nichols wrote: > >> My slightly radioactive Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50/1.4 is >> undergoing a sunshine treatment in hopes of reducing the slight >> discoloration of the 3 rear elements.
