....Canon even decided to add their amazing Super Spectra Coating to this new lens. SSC (Super Spectra Coating) is a multi-layered coating created by Canon to reduce lens flare and to faithfully reproduce color balance. The coating redirects light from the edges of the curved lens elements and forces it to converge onto the same location. Super Spectra Coatings even reflect incidental light. It's a marvelous thing for us to get and if I'm not mistaken, even contrast is improved by this coating.
.
"Light travels in waves – since each color travels at different wavelengths, multi layers coatings are required to effectively reduce reflection. Each layer works on different wave lengths of light. Canon's multi layer Super Spectra coating allows up to 99.9% of light through to the CMOS sensor, over a range that extends from ultra violet to near-infrared light. As well as minimizing ghosting and flare, Super Spectra Coating ensures a consistent color balance across all EF lenses and plays a key part in delivering the sharp, high-contrast results that Canon lenses are renowned for." - Canon Inc

Marco:

Do you happen to know whether this Super Spectra Coating is used on other EF-M lenses?

Thanks.
