Not even my (and anotherone) Eurynar shows this effects - another photographer told me about the collection of his Eurynars with different focal lengths, showing the same unique phenomenia.
It's a thing between missing a coating in a bright light, and soft focus behaviour.
The surfaces are as clean as possible.
I try to scan a print next days, which will show what I usually get on my groundglass.
In printing harder, let's say gradation 3,5, the effect dissolves, and the print looks more sharp - but the GG stays milky, wide open or closed.
Mine arrived yesterday. The shutter seems to be a Compur #2, working nicely on all speeds. The outer diameter of the lens is 53mm. The lens elements cleaned up great, and I have 14 fitting holders.
I have to say, this 9x12 camera inc. Eurynar came from a female photographer.
She bought this camera 1957, during her study time, but never used the camera since the early sixties - she preferred to retouch negatives instead of photographing as her business.
Camera plus lens look very clear, and I gave an extra clearing to the lens.
I don't see that on the groundglass with either the 4,5/135 or 3,5/150 Eurynar I have. I also have the Goerz Dogmar 6,3/135 that has the same dialyte construction, and the negs are very sharp and have no problems with contrast. I've used it both in cloudy and sunny conditions. I will report back when I have tried my Eurynars.
