Hi Eric,
If I remember correctly, most modern multi-coated lenses absorbs quite a
bit of UV light, which is necessary to expose most alt-process
emulsion... I read somewhere that folks who photographs in UV use
uncoated pre-WWII lenses since they transmit UV better. Might be fun to
retake the cyanotype shot with an old Tessar or something similar.
Dai.
