kenh Posted August 20, 2016 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello everyone, recently I purchase a brand new 35mm summarit-m 2.5 online, and discover there are a ring of "gray metal dots" around the lens barrel. Have anyone of you notice this? I am also waiting for Leica to get back to me, but I like to know if this is part of the lens design or something, maybe glue the lenses together to the barrel? I put the lens under light and can see it really clearly all around the lens barrel. Thank you for your feedback. kenh Welcome, dear visitor!

CharlesL Posted August 20, 2016 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2016 I don't know what should be the gray dots in your photo. Here is mine. I have not found a problem with the lens. Welcome, dear visitor!

Exodies Posted August 20, 2016 Share #5 Posted August 20, 2016 They seem to be smaller than the dust on the outside. Am I looking at the right thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted August 20, 2016 Share #6 Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) The spots appear to be simple dust. Your choices are to humiliate yourself by sending it back to Leica or use the lens and enjoy because those tiny specks amount to NOTHING.

michaelwj Posted August 20, 2016 Share #7 Posted August 20, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think it is not dust but what looks like some glue of something? Either way, if I'm looking at the correct spot (under the red line) it does not look quite right. I doubt it will effect the image, but it will effect resale. Maybe use a circle instead of a line so we all know what you're talking about? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenh Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share #8 Posted August 21, 2016 I feel it is like glue or something, because they go all over the barrel ring. Definitely not dust because they are too much, and are applied circular through the barrel, some parts are less, some part are more. To Michael: Yes indeed it is under the red line, you are right, I doubt it will effect the image but probably resale value. Will see after I finish shooting this roll of film.
