Re: Lenses and color reproduction

Older Sigma lenses are notorious for having a "warm" color. Their elements have a brown appearance that I've read is from the coating. The front element of my old Sigma 17-35mm looks like a brown bubble. I kind of liked the warm look for shooting indoors with a flash but outdoor shots tended to look slightly warm and needed correction.

I remember my first Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 also had a green bias when shot wide open.
