Yoder,
I have never found the wide open performance of my Super B
objectionable in any way. Mine is a very late post war model
with coated lens.
Front element focusing was used on a number of Rolleiflexes.
I never heard of any objection to the photos from those.
One of the finest cameras that Kodak ever made had front
element focusing.; the Super Six-20.
