In a message dated 97-10-25 12:45:57 EDT, you write:
<< 
 Some of the early Summarex lenses are coated, but most are not, as, to this
 day, surveillance lenses are often uncoated, as performance is better in
 low-light conditions with uncoated optics.
  >>
  Marc - Would you please elaborate on that "performance is better in
  low-light conditions with uncoated optics", as I can't for the life of me
  understand how this could be since hi-speed lenses like the Noctilux
  are designed to be used in LLC and they are coated.
