Yes, or even an uncoated one, if the number of
air spaces is small...;-) A filter has only one
surface that faces the lens, and what little
more light reflects back from its rear surface
from the lens compared with a multicoated filter
is very unlikely to be enough to expose film
sufficiently to be seen... (also, see Jeremy's
response, below...;-).
