Straight 6332 // "On the Joys of Uncoated Lenses"

"Modern science is relentless. Countless hours and dollars are spent developing ways to improve upon what we already have, all toward a perceived, yet unattainable, state of perfection. The problem, of course, arises when one asks just who is determining “perfection,” and the obviously related questioning of just how universal this version of perfection might or might not be. Camera optics have undergone tremendous development over the last century and a half. Without a doubt, many of these changes have genuinely and irrefutably improved the quality of images that may be obtained. But once the threshold of reliably clear, sharp photos without serious aberrations had been reached (arguably by the early 1960s), one has to wonder about diminishing returns on investment."
