Which only goes to show that multi-coating is still not perfect - that
residual 1% reflection is still significant. The real question is
whether the factor of 4 improvement that MC unquestionably offers is a
better performance/economic tradeoff. You don't appear to be convinced
it is, and in reality neither am I, but I won't argue against the
observable performance improvement that MC offers. (a comment that is
not limited to zuiko lenses)
