Aha!  I knew that there was some great advantage to that old Argus C3 my
dad has.  Its lens has absolutely no color reflections of any kind.  The
old lens manufacturers managed to get thier lenses to show no colors.
Those old formulations must have been lost.

Most interesting thing, that old Argus C3 produces sharper images than most
anything else out there of any age.
