I once placed some of my lenses under direct sunlight (to kill fungus).
Since I wanted them directly pointed them towards the sun, I took a piece of clothe (old sweatshirt) and placed in on a chair. Almost as soon as I was trying to place the 135L on the shirt (pointing directly into the sun) the shirt started burning.
It was like less than three seconds!
If someone had told me that, I wouldn\'t believe it...
Of course, like a little child, I started playing with the lenses and tried to reproduce the \"phenomena\".
interestingly, while the 85L also had some \"burning\" potential, the 135L was the clear winner.
