He had several (3 or 4) sitting on the shelf. The one I looked at had a
sticker saying CDN$195 on it ('bout US$130), but nobody ever goes by
that. My guess is that I could have slapped down around CDN$125 ('bout
US$85) and walked out with it.
Of course, it was *not* multi-coated. My mistake. I tooked at the
reflections in the front element and saw a bit of a rainbow, so I assumed
it was multi-coated. (That *is* how you tell, isn't it?) I think you were
suggesting that this might indicate that the elements are separating,
right???
