The lack of modern coating shows in the contrast.

I think somewhere between #11 & #12 would be good in PP.

Indeed, I think this lens has not much coating left , probably nothing.

Just to be different I like number 4, shot into the light with a slight mist in the air.

Yes, low contrast can be charm too.
