Hi
I am seeking information about the various marks of this lens made by Fuji.
As I understand it, a 90mm f8 has been offered by Fuji since the 70s. I am looki ng to buy used one, and I have come across one bought by an individual in 1992. He isn't able to tell if its a multicoated lens (I suspect it MUST be, due to th e 90s vintage), but describes the lens coating as looking 'purplish'. My questio n therefore is: Is this a multicoated lens???? (It comes in a Copal 0, if that's any help)
I am asking because both my Fujinon 150mm and 210mm W (non-CMW) lenses have gree nish coatings.
Lastly, the FSTOP website details the 90mm f8 as having a 6E/6G design. Isn't th is very different from the typical 6E, 4G designs of the f8 90mm lenses from the various manufacturers? What advantages can such a design have over the 6E/4G de signs, and can someone possibly tell me if the 1992 vintage lens I am looking at has the same design as the current model.
Lastly lastly, pray tell, does anyone know what the BEST street price is for a b rand new 90mm f8 Fujinon?? And where can I buy this lens at the price mentioned?
