>From Pentax's current lens brochure:
"Some SMC Pentax lenses also feature our orignal ghostless coating to
reduce false imaging by lowering the reflection of certain light waves."
Well. Very interesting. Some hypotheses I'm drawing from this:
(1) The 77/1.8 does not have this ghostless coating, which I would expect
all lenses in its price range to have, particularly portrait lenses.
(2) The SMC, which is supposed to increase transmitted light to
99.8% (I think), can still reflect objects that it *really* shouldn't.
(3) Pentax's marketing department, which should tell us which lenses have
the ghostless coating, which ones have the FREE design, which ones have
the all-glass aspherical lenses and which have the resin molds, etc. etc.,
sucks. Big time.
