Thanks for the info.  I have this same coated version of the lens, from the 
same general period.  One final question - do you find that use of a lens 
hood is essential, and if so under what conditions.  As you know, it can be a 
bit of a hassle to find the exact accessory or to use anything else, unless 
you never change aperture.
