Here's a link to one in my gallery,

There are more 'Sidi Bou Said' photos in my gallery. This is digital, not a slide. At first you look at images from this lens and think the colour is off, but that may be just because you know it is single-coated. Now I am not so sure that there is much of a colour distortion. Certainly makes nice B/W photos, though.

Cheers,
Kirk

Why not? Coatings affect flare and therefore contrast, not color.

Most of my photos (links in my signature) are with the single coated lens.

Why not? Coatings affect flare and therefore contrast, not color.

coatings work by canceling certain wavelengths in the light reflections from the glass surfaces. Multi coatings cancel a fairly broad spread of wavelengths, so both reflect less than single coatings, and have less color cast than single coatings.

Since a single coating can only cancel one wavelength entirely, there is a complementary colour shift, though very slight, in the transmitted light. The image is also a bit lower in contrast, since the coating isn't as efficient, which some people prefer for b/w photos.
