Hey RML,
I have 2 uncoated lenses that I don´t use all that much. one Leitz Elmar 1937, a little brassed, the front ring is slightly bent but other than that it looks ok (not too much scratches or fog) and one Leitz Summar 1938 in perfect cosmetic condition but with a lot of scratches on the front glass. (maybe that adds to the look you seek?)
I´ve paid 80€ for the elmar and 125€ for the Summar and that´s what I would ask for them. (oh and you can look at them in the following thread: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27210&highlight=pixelpeepshow )
pm me if you´re interested or if you want to see pics of the lenses to decide!
regards
friedrich

If the glass surface has many many tiny, barely visible cleaning marks, this will add to the "glow" of bright objects in a dark background, will create a "halo" around them, will make them look sharp and blurred in the same time. Many old lenses have this, e.g. one of my Sonnars also does. I will try to look up an example to show the effect (visible even in colour!).
Remy, i still think that the paper you see most old photos on, is a major factor. Probably also the film and the chemicals/development. Otherwise, - don't you have some old uncoated glass on any of your cameras?
Honestly, when I shoot my pre-wwII rolleiflex with its uncoated Tessar, i do get lower contrast if there's strong contrast in the scene, but there's no other difference between the end results with the Rolleicord or the Yashica D i had before, and those are single coated lenses od the same design so i can compare. Moreover, there's also no big difference with the novar anastigmat on my folder, if i stop the lens down and don't look in the corners.
