Default Re: Will IR cut filters AND coding be necessary on longer lenses?

I hope the question is now clearer . . .
It's a very good question. Here's what I'm finding so far in my testing:

wider that 28 mm - cyan drift, coding needed
28 mm - slight cyan drift, coding will be helpful
35 mm - not yet tested, possible tomorrow
50 mm - no cyan drift, coding should not be needed
longer than 50 - should also be fine, have not tested yet

Cheers,

Sean
