Hi Martin,

I'm not sure, but I think that article may be wrong.  I believe the lenses
were already yellow to start with.  The radioactive material could be
Thorium, as is used in a Canon 35/2.0 lense, and documentation I have says
it was yellowish to begin with...  The 35/2.0 Canon lense (Thorium version)
is a legendary B&W lense, BTW.

Regards,

Austin
