>Hi Folks,

interest.

a

It

>could not detect any green, only amber, purple and blue. I came home
perplexed

>reflection rather than green. Anyway I grabbed one of my known MC lenses
and
>checked it under a florescent bulb to see if the green was blue -- it was

>looked at the markings on the front ring, and there for the first time
after

M-SYSTEM
>E-ZUIKO AUTO-T 1:2.8 f = 100mm 101xxx". Oh My !! Does this mean I
have

body?
>Should I hide this lens in a bank vault, or just keep throwing it into the
bag
>to shoot with and curse it's single coated-ness? Please help me decide.
