80MM 2.8 N lens: green C what does it mean?

I just bought a 80mm 2.8 used lens from Keh in Atlanta... on the lens

it says 80 mm 1: 2.8 N but also in a different area it has a

green "C".. just wondered what the C means and if I got the N lens I

really paid for. PS I have bought alot of stuff from KEH and they

have always been fantastic , usually giving me better equipment than

I would have expected than the equipments "rating".

many thanks,

mark

Yes you got the lens you paid for. I think that the C just designates it as being from an earlier time, all my mamiya-sekor lenses have the C (N and non-N), but my just plain 'Mamiya' 150/2.8 doesnt though (it has an A which is just white), it must a be a sekor thing.

I'm sure someone else can give a more detailed answer, but for the time being you can rest easy about it being the wrong lens.

C just means that it is multicoated. All my N lenses for 645 lenses also have a green C.
