mdominic20 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I've searched the forum but I can't find a clear answer about this one. If a 36 has the "MC" written on it, obviously it's multicoated. If it doesn't have the "MC" written on it, does that mean it's single-coated? Or did they just make multicoated lenses without the "MC" label for a while? Does anyone own a 36 that's definitely single-coated? Thanks for your help!

valery akos Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The 36 without MC is not MC It is simply the same lens like the old original Iscorama. Later they made the 36-MC read this from Andrew Reid (he has one) in that link below: " It isn’t the multi-coated MC version.

PepperJay Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Non-MC-Iscorama-36-1-5x-anamorphot-anamorphic-lens-adapter-in-rare-NOS-condition-/253204521615?hash=item3af42a628f:g:rQMAAOSwrohZ3ycA Listing photo. Looks non-MC (single coated) like the Pre-36. Seems to be the best of both lenses, rear element size and Non-MC. This may be an extreme opposite, but it serves: Related video of 36 MC vs. Pre-36: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG2jee5UScE And a thread: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjG0Mbg1e3WAhUJrlQKHalmAhsQFggoMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eoshd.com%2Fcomments%2Ftopic%2F3829-who-else-has-a-single-coated-iscorama-36%2F&usg=AOvVaw1pP9ZnvIJ1WELm5BBeL7PH valery akos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdominic20 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Thanks guys! So if it doesn't say "MC," it might be single coated or it might be multicoated. That ebay listing looks nice, and definitely looks single coated. The price seems a little crazy though, compared to other lenses I have seen being sold.
