I too have seen lots of measurements and comments regarding this , but it is not particularly noticeable in any shots that I have taken. Maybe I'm not using it correctly !! :) Bests Eric on 22/2/02 8:02 PM, olivier nguyen at oliviertnguyen@hotmail.com wrote: > If i was you, i just keep the lens the way it is. > > anyway, do you get any light fall off with this lens at all? > > Olivier > >> From: "Mark Cohen" <markc@binaryfaith.com> >> Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> >> Subject: RE: [Leica] Leica 21mm f3.4 Super Angulon Question >> Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2002 11:24:58 -0800 >> >> >> Eric, >> >> From what I've read about coatings and polishings, there is risk to the >> lens.
