I''m enormously pleased with the results using T400CN; but I notice, finally, that the coating on the front element is "dulling," for want of a better term. I've read various references on this list to lens recoating, and I wonder how feasible it is in this case. The lens is otherwise in virtually mint condition, glass is perfect, except for the coating. Can anyone tell me where I might have this done? An estimate of the cost? Will a recoating change the optical quality of the lens? I will appreciate all and any advice. One more thing: what's the date of manufacture of this lens? Many thanks in advance. Chandos Chandos Michael Brown Assoc.
