Question for anyone who owns a Fuji protector filter for their lens. I have the PRF-52 for my 35mm f1.4 lens and the PRF-62 for my 23mm f1.4. I noticed the light reflecting off the front of the filter glass is different between the two filters even though they should have the same coating. The light reflecting off the front of the PRF-52 is PURPLE while the light reflecting off the PRF-62 is BLUE. The attached photo illustrates this using an LED strip as the light source. (The filters are mounted to the lenses in the photo, so ignore the extra reflections from the lens elements.) Can owners of Fuji filters tell me if they see the same colors reflected off their filters? Both filters use Fuji's Super Electron Beam Coating (EBC), so I was expecting the same color in light reflection. I wonder if it's possible one filter is fake. However, all the packaging looks legitimate, and I have yet to notice any striking differences in optical performance. Thanks for any input from you folks. For those interested, here's a link to Fuji's product page for the filters: http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/accessories/lens/
