What do these abbreviations stand for?

[Robert_S]

So, we have used Vistamesh lenses quite a bit over the last year, but on the lens packet there are few abbreviations relating to what the lens does that I don't understand. Here they are (exactly as written on the lens packet):


ASP - UV - EMI - FILTER BROWN - HPAR



ps. I wanted to upload an image of the packet but was unable to, could anyone tell me how?

It depends:

ASP- Either aspheric or the snake that bit Cleopatra.
UV- Either Ultra Violet or a brand of vodka.
EMI- Either Electro Magnetic Interference or a British record label.
Filter Brown- Not sure. It may mean the filter needs cleaned.
HPAR- Either Hydrophic Anti Reflective or Horse Power Air Resistance.

Very good. Thank you.
