A mainstay for quick architectural stuff. This, and most other decent wideangle lenses, are prime motivators for removing needless filters. An early SWC, non T* might have the flare from the filter hidden behind the rest of the flare. If you think your non-T* Biogon 38 doesn't flare, you just haven't looked critically at your results in comparison with a modern coated lens. It's almost as big a difference as the pre and post Super-Multicoated-Takumars. My one and only post on filters (at least this time around), as my drivel-meter was once again charged up fully and needed this release. * Henning J.
