Any truth to the notion that the old chrome C lenses are better than the T* lenses for black and white. I ask because I have an old pre-ai Nikon 50mm 1.4 (which I think it's single coated), and I have noticed that it does seem to have a really lovely low contrast character, which lends very well to B&W.
It wouldn't be very expensive to get a 80mm 2.8 C or a 150mm C.
I'm doing a portrait project using mostly Tri-X and FP4 and I want to see if I can ebb every inch of tonality into my negatives. I might even start developing in PMK Pyro..
What is the consensus on this?
