p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Are there any advantages to uncoated lens filters? | |
I know that multi coatings are in general the standard for lens and lens filter manufacture, with most manufacturers particularly liking to emphasize the quality of their coatings. However, there seem to be some purposely uncoated filters from highly regarded makers. For example, many of the Singh-Ray filters are uncoated. Some Kaesemann-type polarizers in the past, while very expensive, were uncoated (even though multi coatings existed). And Tiffen, while on the less expensive side for still photography filters, have uncoated square glass filters that are often used for motion picture recording, where there seems to be little limit to the cost of gear. So, why would some makers specifically decide to construct uncoated filters?
