I have read that some older lenses exhibit a yellowish cast due to age. I picked up a 50mm/1.4 EBC lens. The coating is a green/blue but the lens glass looks a...
(In reply) - It's somewhat common on the Pentax SMC Takumar f/1.4, since rare earth glass elements were used. There's a technique for using direct sunlight to...

There is a bottom metering tab on the bottom of my M42 Fujica EBC lenses. This is the metering index tab. Does anyone know if this interferes with all M42...
