Actually this is exactly what is happening light has mass and so it has weight, 
the
MC on the lens stops bad light from passing through the lens now this is the 
paradox
by making the lens light-less they have made it liter!! If you don't believe me 
put
the lens caps on to trap the light inside and then weigh it and see if it 
doesn't
weigh more!!
