Comparison of the tint of different lenses using light bulb reflection āmethod.ā Basically I put the lens on dinner table and look at reflection of the chandelierās light bulb above it, using the lens as mirror. This method āamplifiesā the tint of the lens and makes it easy to see. In non-coated lens, there will be NO change in color. With AR coated lens, the light bulb usually looks green as with my Convoy lights and my coated eyeglasses, but there are exceptions as seen here with the UCL lenses.
Hereās a good article on why typical AR coated lenses (and AR coated eyeglasses) reflect green when looked directly down on it and purple when looked at from the side: http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/index-166.html . I donāt know why the UCL lenses take on different colors, but do know that they work perfectly and recommended as a must-have for the Wurkkos (hint: I have measurements coming
) .
