Fujinon W or CM-W

[Drew Wiley]

The Fuji literature itself can be confusing. There were brochures which specifically listed "WS" as well as "NWS" lenses as multicoated, and sometimes I have encountered lenses like the 250/6.7 which were allegedly not MC, yet I owned a MC
example myself! When in doubt with lenses made during the transition years, visually
check for the secondary reflection hues which indicate MC. Otherwise, if the lettering
is on the outside of the barrel, it's probably MC. But that older 250/6.7 was indeed nice because it would cover 8X10 much more comfortably than the 6.3 version.

Not to leave out a Fuji Lens site, this one has helped me alot:

And Kerry wrote a very informative article published in View Camera Magazine years ago.

I understand that the lenses marked WS were simply part of Fuji's practice of labelling those W lenses that were shutter-mounted. They abandoned the habit after a while it seems. My 250 f6.7 is marked WS. The NWS lenses came later.

Which explains the big difference in price.
