UV or Sun?

Both are OK.

Pancolar or S-M-C ? Well. I did UV over both.

Pancolar zebra: It has a yellow cast more strong than the MC pancolar. A yellowish cast stay there, post UV light because it's inherent to the lens (see pancolar 1,4/55 at the gallery and you can see this).

Pancolar MC : early models are more yellow than the newers. In earliest, the yellow stay post UV with a bit greenish cast. Yes, yellow/greenish cast, and it's a radiation consequence. Some articles about it. UV reduce a lot -not all in my experience-

S-M-C Takumar: When I bought it, a bit yellow cast. Two days in UV and no more yellowish at all.

my S-M-C Takumar 1.4/50 has lost pretty much all of its yellow cast ( which I had liked..)
without ever attempting the sun / UV cure, but simply because I have used the lens very much in countries with strong sun
