Just how serious is the separation so common on some lenses? (Yes, I know the answer is "it depends," but is it possible to generalize?) For example, I've never seen a Turner-Reich which doesn't have a silver ring around the edge, and both accessory Carl Zeiss lenses for my Contaflex have a silver reflection over virtually the entire lens. Does it affect the resolution? Or the contrast due to the additional internal reflections? If the separation is only at the periphery does stopping down eliminate those rays? My inquiring mind (d'oh) wants to know.
