My favorite non-zuikoid silvernose is Tim Strawn, Kid Shelleen's evil twin brother (both played by Lee Marvin) in "Cat Ballou".

So I've gone through the archives and found no treatise (or rant) on the beauty and truth of silvernose/SCs (the lenses, not agschnozz) vs. the dark and troublesome secrets of blacknose/MC lenses. I have several of each and happily use them without usually thinking about it. I would assume MC would result in some improvements in light transmission (T-stop), flare control, resolution and/or contrast. Gary's tests seem to generally bear this out. Other than esthetics and lending themselves to a cool name/acronym (schwartzschnozz is a bit unappealing), what advantages might silvernose lenses have of which I am unaware?
