The Contax II is a pleasure to use considering it's a camera from
1937. I tried the second roll with this camera and the uncoated Sonnar
1.5/50, under certain light conditions there is no doubt the lens is
prone to flare and the diference with a coated or multicoated lens is
perceptible of course. It's also perceptible that coated/multicoated
lenses in general produce more "pure" colors someway, it does not mean
colors by uncoated Sonnar are not very pleasant, this Sonnar is
excellent about sharpness and contrast,these are to samples, the first
one is a nocturnal shot taken with the camera on a rail, 4sec f 8, the
other a cityscape, both taken with Kodacolor color negative film ISO
