This frame was shot through the plate glass shop front, so there's window light to help out. The plate glass may add to the glow, I don't think it was multicoated;^) The lens is new to me, but an old member of the LUG family. Got it from Craig Zeni. It spends most of its time afixed to an old LUG body, an M7 Sonny gave up a while back. Thanks for looking. Ric On Mar 21, 2007, at 12:03 AM, Jeff S.
