Subjectively speaking I'd say that's a fair observation. Another example: I and other Canon FD shooters have noticed the older breechlock 35/3.5 and 35/2 deliver great results with b&w but a slightly yellowish tinge to color slides. Were some lenses designed specifically for the needs of the day - photojournalists shooting b&w? I don't know, but it's possible.

The most current lenses do seem to render colors more brilliantly (film differences aside) than older lenses. But that's not necessarily superior, especially for photographers doing their own wet darkroom work. It's easier to work from a slightly less contrasty image than one which lacks shadow and highlight detail.

has anyone on the list noticed how olympus lenses seem to handle color and
black and white differently than other camera makers?
