Are your eyeballs coated? Do you see in color? I'm keeping this simple because you should learn by doing. The first simple thing is to use clean the lens inside and out. The other is use a lens shade. Ken I want to use an old f/6.3 uncoated Tessar from a 9 X 14 ICA folding camera. Â Is there a filter I can use that will simulate the effect of a coated lens?
