<p>Thank you all four. I thought I was asking a yes or no question! Very interesting. I have found and purchased a 37mm push on Voigtlander filter. It makes sense that panchromatic film will have more (and by that I mean too much) visible information toward the blue/violet/uv that will handicap the Heliar.</p>

<p>I sold my Rolleicord IV and went looking for a Voigtlander Bessa. The Bessa RF had a hinged yellow filter on the lens. I am guessing indoors no filter, outdoors filter. B&W film filter, color film no filter. I bought a Bessa II which has a coated 'Color Heliar' and no hinged filter. I have never shot MF with a coated lens. Does the coating do anything to lessen the need to use a yellow filter to correct tones for outdoor B&W Photography? And, while we are at it, is the yellow filter good for environmental portraits as well as landscapes?</p>
