Someone is going to have to explain that idea to me.......45 years in the business - and still selling - and I have never selected a lens (or coating style) "for" color or "for" B&W.

When they let you know could you then pass it on to me?.....

As I said at the end of that post I bought a MC version and have never once had reason to complain about the way it renders and 90%+ of my images are reproduced in monochrome.

Thanks for posting all of this. It's been a real pleasure to read. As a matter of curiosity, is the Nokton version you used Multi Coated, or Single Coated? I wonder what effect Single Coating might have on the flare effects that you enjoy shooting into the sun? I.e. Would single coating give you the best of both worlds; a new 1.4 lens with pronounced flare when shot into the sun?

Thanks,

Mark

Hey Mark! I have the MC version! 🤓
