Hugo,
In the '70's, I remember reading somebody's column where he claimed to be
able to tell from the slides on the light table which were shot with Olympus
glass. Beyond that, he made no other claims. I think that is possible, but
have no personal experience.

<< Films came back and actually for the first time it struck me how
different our two photo-systems were. It was as if we had been to two
different places, so much the colours differed. When so directly
comparing I can say that my impression is that Pentax lenses are cool,
blue-ish or on the VERY neutral side of the colour spectrum, while the
Cannon FD lenses have a more pleasing warm presentation. I use the word
'pleasing' because such was the subjective experience of the whole
group of us who went to Norway and saw the slides - but it was my own
impression too, maybe even more so than the others. If I have to give
my opinion I have to admit that my slides were too blue/magenta and his
were on the yellow/red side. When you ask me honestly what to think of
it I think his pictures were better in terms of colour and contrast.
Normally I think my Pentax lenses give a more 'realistic' presentation
than the FD's, and certainly the truth is somewhere in between, but for
now I feel that my last series of slides are way too cool/blue/magenta.
At this point I would like to know if this sort of impressions about
colour are shared by more of my group members. Not with the aim to
conclude which brand is best but more to place Pentax on a comparative
colour-map.
Is there anybody listening who can attest to above described phenomena?
Are Pentax lenses usually cooler or more blue/magenta than other
brands?
Is this still the case for the modern AF lenses or only for the older
Manual focus lenses?
Any comments are welcome, but please enlighten me. >>
