Len,

I have a color photo in my LUG gallery that was made with my 50/1.4 Takumar 
and a 2x extender.  It is a true closeup against an out of focus background, 
and I can't see any distraction from any supposed discoloration.  The 
individual from whom I purchased the lens said he only used it for B&W 
because he thought color would be affected.  I just can't see it.  The link 
is shown below.  Today, I rescanned the negative and searched for any trace 
of a problem, and I couldn't distinguish between this one and the original 
lab scan.

See what you think.
