Hello, I am a beginner at LF photography, just received a wista field camera and started to assemble a LF kit, still finding my way and learning at the moment.
While surfing the market for lens, I came across many bargain lens, mostly uncoated. Experience told me lens coating reduce internal light reflection, lens flare, and increase contrast, more favorable for color than B/W (I do both). Lens with coating is definitely a plus (on the price as well!) but not essential.
However, I wonder will a coated UV filter like B+W MRC filter over the uncoated lens give the same effect as a coated lens?
Thanks!
