Brian,

Do you find that the Bertele is both more contrasty and slightly darker than the uncoated 5cm f2 Sonnar? With the uncoated Sonnar when processing for dehaze in capture One I typically need to increase exposure by 3/4 stop.

Note: I did not do it in the glass shot as there was no haze problem.

The Bertele has higher contrast, and less veiling flare than the Sonnar T.
The Sonnar T compared with my uncoated Sonnar: also higher contrast and less flare, but the Bloom on the uncoated lens makes it better than when it was new.

I do not increase exposure in post, all of these are straight exports from ART.

Ah ha, now I start to see the rendering differences between the Bertele and the C Sonnar (thanks).
