With most lenses after say about 1940 - 50 lens contrast related to image contrast on the negative is quite consitent but where I'm noticing a difference is with the older soft focus optics from the 1800's to the early 1900's.
I fully appreciate the flare factor of an uncoated lens but wonder if anyone is increasing their processing time to compensate in any way. If so by what sought of amount.
I'm finding with a Verito a 20 - 30% increase in development improves the image appeal without altering any of the soft appeal.
