uncoated lenses do filters help?
I see a lot of old folding cameras for sale with un-coated lenses at low prices compared to cameras with colour corrected lenses like the Color Skopar. Would it be a simple matter to put a filter on an un-coated lens to match a Colour Skopar lens or do the Color Skopar lenses have superior optics? The camera I have in mind is a Perkeo 1 Vaskar lens compared to a Perkeo 2 Color Skopar lens (four to five times the cost of a Perkeo 1).

Personally I rather like using uncoated lenses, and as regards the Vasker lens, I have a Perkeo with the same lens, coated, and a pre war Baby Bessa with the same lens, uncoated, and I would not say, in my experiance that filters make any difference, looking at the negatives from uncoated lenses including the Vasker i do not see any difference, at least not with Fomapan film, I also have cameras with the Skoper lens, Uncoated, and the color skoper, both essentialy the same lens, one coated and one uncoated, the uncoated lens has a softer contrast, but again filters make no difference to my eyes, again in B/W
