The second point to check is the lens's color balance. It seems
natural for a lens to accurately reproduce all the colors in an
image. But without careful attention to such design factors as
coating, differences in light wavelengths, illumination levels,
angle, lens thickness, and configuration, a lens cannot faithful-
ly reproduce colors. The tendency for whites to come out red-
dish or yellowish in pictures taken with lower-quality lenses is
completely corrected with FD lenses. And since all FD lenses
have a special spectral coating, from the fisheye all the way up to
the super telephoto, true-to-life reproduction can be achieved.
