  Hi Sylwester,

  I wouldn't rely on this when buying a FA 28-70/4. Mine was
  manufactured several years ago before the first "ghostless SMC" lens
  was officially acknowledged, and I doubt very much my sample has the
  new type of coating (not that it is a flare lagger ;o) ). I suppose
  this is the case with most batches of this lens, especially that
  it's been discontinued for some time now.
  
  Generally speaking, only the newest batches of the older lenses may
  be ghostless SMC coated, and there is no way you could know this for
  a fact before buying, even new. You can only be sure only of the
  glass released after the 43 limited. So I guess Boz site is less
  misleading like it is right now.
 
  Servus,    Alin
