But your implying that DA coatings are better because the color correction is better, I dont agree with that statement as necessarily being true. Just because you have a DA lens with whatever coating you feel has better color correction than another lens you have, doesnt mean that the DA coatings are responsible or that DA coatings have improved color correction or that color corrected lenses have not been availble before these DA coatings. Color correction has been something that has been attacked and addressed since color film was invented, only "improved coating on DA lenses" is not fixing what would be a major problem which is what visibly poor color correction would be...

I don't believe I said anything about 'colour corrected lenses'; I said that the DA coatings were better than the FA coatings, and that this ought to be considered as a factor when comparing the 55/1.4 to the diversity of other 50mm lenses available. Now, 'better' is obviously subjective, but the BIV end of the spectrum comes through more richly in the DA lenses I have generally than in the FA lenses I have. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
