How can a lens effect color?
Henry Peach wrote: Different types of glass don't transmit the visual spectrum in exactly the same way. Beyond that there are lens coatings and adhesives between some elements that could possibly affect color.
I have an old Pentax Spotmatic lens that has a lens element made with some sort of slightly radioactive material. Over time it turns yellow. I only used it with BW film, and it was like having a built in #8 filter.
I've also noticed that a few of my Sigma lenses create photos that are more yellow than my other lenses do. It is easily corrected in raw processing, but comparing jpegs shot with different lenses and printed without corrections the color difference is obvious.
