Hi, My current 35mm gear is a Olympus OM-2 with Zuiko lenses. The standard = 50/1.8 lens shows a couple (3-5) of tiny blacks spots between the = elements (presumably flacked of black paint. I first assumed this = particular to this single lens, but I obtained 2 other specimens of this = lens of varying age, which also show this phenomena. So my question is: will these spots seriously influence the lens = performance, so much that it will show on a print? I must admit that I = did not see any signs of that. But I mostly shoot 4*5, and MF and I am = always disappointed if I occasionally print 35 mm ( more grain = (obviously) and less sharpness and definition, perhaps also obvious).. thanks, best, Cor=20 ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
