Hello
Can someone tell me if the Agnar lens in the Agfa Isolette I is or is not a coated lens? It has no visible colour or hue, and my guess would be that it is an uncoated lens. The lens I'm writing about has its name & number (white lettering) in a black circle around the glass, not engraved in the front chrome ring.
Thanks in advance.

I heve the same lens in an Isolette V and it shows some blue/violet color. When using it, I found that it probably is uncoated, as you can see in my example.
Edit: Here: http://www.rolandandcaroline.co.uk/isolettei/isolettei.html They say its coated, but it seems to be a different lens than yours.

Coating is something one can see. Mine is light bluish.
The picture of petronius is probably the result of a light leak or internal reflection and not lack of coating.

Thank you
My camera seems similar to the one in the link, however I am not sure about the lens in the photo. In the description they state it is a coated lens - and it is better to accept that, and take additional care when cleaning it .
Best regards

The camera has no flash connection. There is a photo of the lens here

No visible discoloration in the lens, as far as I can tell.
Thanks
