Soligor Tele-Auto 200mmF3.5

i don't know why i bought this lens (aside from the $40 price) because i already have 2 zooms and 3 other primes at this focal length, but anyway, i thought i could use it for play.

the image below was shot stopped down to about F8 and it suprised me in terms of the quality. this is about a 1/4 of the K10D frame, with only contrast changes in the water/reflection and slight boost of overall exposure. all PP was done on the out of camera jpeg.

Looks nice, but the reflection looks greenish. Is that an "existing light" condition or a lens hue thing?

Existing light shot. Hue might be existing light or reflecting the under water color. It was grey and cloudy. It could also be due to boosting a little the reflection but it was done with neutral to the adjustment color. The 'coon itself looks normal
