Did anyone ever make a multi-coated convertible (other than the beautiful, current, way-too-expensive Cooke XVa)? How well do modern (not intended as convertible) multi-coated Symmars hold up if you yank the front element? Needing to stop down to f32 is not a problem.
Am I correct in my assumption that a simple multi-coated lens with no elements in front of the (very stopped down, waterhouse-stop-style) diaphragm would be the most flare-resistant configuration possible? (I'm shooting night scenes with very bright in-scene light sources)
