Hi John -
A quick question... is the lens clean internally? As you probably know, even
the slightest haze or film, one that is barely detectable upon inspection, will
make a significant difference in contrast and flare...
The reason I am asking all of this is because in my experience it is unusual to
see coating abrasions that obviously effect contrast; others on the list may
have different experiences...
In any event, the man who does this kind of work is John Van Stelton and Focal
Point Camera in CO. Some on the list have had good experiences with him; my one
experience was passible but not great...

Hi Eric,
Thanks for welcoming me to the list.
I was on Marc's earlier list but took while to sign up on this new one.
I haven't shot any slide film yet, just black and white, and I've noticed
flare. While some of the pictures that demonstrate flare were indeed photos
taken
into the sun, I can't help but wonder if the flare is exaggerated because of
the cleaning marks. I don't have a hood yet so that could be a problem too.
what will slide film show that black and white won't?
John
