I can't think of any that fill all your criteria (depending on what your budget is exactly). But I suspect you overestimate the benefits of multi-coating compared to single-coating; if you even consider a Lomo, these marginal differences in image quality should be irrelevant to you. Anyway there are a lot of good, affordable TLRs out there, e.g. Minolta Autocords, Rolleicords and Yashicas all come with Tessars that don't benefit from multi-coating as much as lenses with more elements.
Multicoating is irrelevant for black-and-white photography but essential for color shots. Single-coated lenses may have a yellow tint in color shots.

Can you say more about this? I know many people who shoot single-coated lenses and color film and don't complain about this yellow tint. Is it a chromatic matter, processing, printing? Does digital processing allow for it to be overcome with a couple of clicks, and so people don't notice it as much? Thanks.
With the right lens design coating is irrelevant for photography. I used to harvest lenses from Folding Pocket Kodaks to try out on my 2x3 Graphics. I picked only Zeiss Kodak Anastigmats (all Tessars) and Zeiss Tessars. All shot beautifully on E-6 films. I have a couple of pre-WW I Zeiss Tessar. All very usable.
OP, if you want a pocketable 6x6 or 6x9 folder just look for one in good order, shutter especially, with a tessar type lens.
This is not to denigrate coating, single or multi-. It is invaluable for, e.g., zoom lenses where it reduces but doesn't always eliminate flare and improves transmission. I had a Beaulieu 4008ZM S8 camera with an Angenieux 8x8b lens. 8-64/1.9. Single coated. It t/stopped around t/3.3.
What are some cameras on the lower cost end that have multi coated lens or exchangeable multi coated lens 6x6 that are on the portable size? I have a lca-120, I'm not sure how I feel about this camera though. It's tough to get the focus correct and it seems biased to fast film and wide open f-stops.

GW690
Also known as Volna-3. But then this is not compact anymore. The camera itself is good though.MC Arsat 80mm for Kiev 60?
Voigtlander Perkeo ll, Color Skopar....
Hmm. Coating came into general use after WW-II. Multi-coating came into general use in the late 1970s. Many people shot color successfully between the introduction of Kodachrome in 1935 and the arrival of multicoating. Come to think of it, Autochrome first came to market in 1907 and users liked the results they got.It depends. The single-coated lenses were made since 1930s and were primarily used for B&W photography. My Iskra folded camera 6x6 produces good colors, whereas Moskva-5 6x9 is with the yellow tint. Once I had the Kilfitt Makro Kilar made in West Germany that also had yellow tint.
Sure it can be removed by digital processing.
The lens is single coated, not that it matters. Mine is a joy to use BUT the lens is far from sharp. The late Charlie Barringer (co-author of the Zeiss Ikon Compendium) had one whose lens was also poor. Sharpness is much overrated.

Do you seriously believe that all these people were fools?
