My bifocals, at least 18 hours/day (and they have
Pentax coatings!).
Among camera lenses (still shooting film):
1. FA 24-90
2. F 17-28 fisheye (what fun!)
3. FA 80-320
My FA 50/1.7 isn't seeing much use these days, for

Kodachrome is the most Archival color film ever made. Very chemically

That's a design issue, not an inherent advantage of SLR's (In fact SLR's
