Isn't it interesting how people can look at the same things and
see them entirely differently.  I've got SMC lenses from Takumar
to FA, and  the coatings sure do look different to me.  The
earlier coatings seem to be more yellow when examined in a
certain type of light, and the later coatings have a more
greenish or bluish color. Now, if this means that the coatings
are different, or that the light is refracted differently for
other reasons, I can't say.  I'd only like to add that there are
others on this list who have observed the same color differences
in their lenses, which also run the gamut from early to late SMC
lenses.
