<p>Let's see there is one small difference in the Minoxar lens found on the GTE, MDC and limited edition cameras. They all apparently have the same lens with the built in skylight filter except the MDC. Why?<br>
**GTE (1988) MC Minoxar 35mm/2.8, Skylight filter built onto the lens<br>
**Minox 35 M.D.C. (1996) MC Minoxar 35mm/2.8, Apparently does not have the Skylight filter<br>
**Minox 35 GT-S (1998) MC Minoxar 35mm/2.8, Skylight filter built onto the lens<br>
**Minox 35 GT-X (1997) same<br>
**Minox 35 GTE GOLDKNOPF (1988) same<br>
What could be the technical reason to delete the MDC skylight filter? The GT-X, built at the same time had one.<br>
Just a curious variation without an apparent explanation.<br>
Another variation related to the built in filter, Minox issued a rubber lens hood with the normal clamp but without the typical Skylight filter glass. Obviously, it really wasn't needed.<br>
