Uncoated Heliar

[Steve Hamley]

Folks,

O.K., I know answers will likely be subjective, but for those of you that have both coated and uncoated versions of the Heliar, how do they compare? Are you happy with the contrast and other image characteristics of the uncoated ones?

I may have the opportunity to pick up an uncoated one (would be my first) with the idea of using it as a portrait lens, likely 75% B&W.

Thanks for any info,

Steve
