Hello- I just got my M4-2 back from a repair service for this light leak/shutter issue - a band across the top. I got my first roll back, and 95% of the frames didn't have it - but the last few frames did. None of the frames with my 35mm Summicron had it, only the last few with a 50mm Canon 1.4 LTM with an adapter. Is there any chance this is a lens/adapter issue, or is the shutter still the culprit? Band happend when shot into the direct sun at 1000th, sun behind be at 100th; and also in muted indoor light around 250th. Cheers

Armed with my recently acquired R5, 35mm Elmarit-R III and a roll of Neopan I took a stroll around our local Country Park. As usual with b&w film, I had a yellow filter (in the case a B+W medium yellow) fitted. Bright sun out of frame fairly high to the left. The lens hood was extended but judging by this result, it is not long enough!

Hi everyone, i own both a m2 and a m4p. on all the rolls that ive shot on both cameras, ive noticed this weird flaring across the frame. i dont know if it is a light leak or if it could possibly be my lens. the m2 definately hasnt been cla'ed in a while but the m4p i just bought from a shop and has been cla'ed. i use a canon 50 1.4ltm and a voigtlander 35 1.4sc, but its the newer of the two lenses. Ive noticed that the rolls of film occasionally have flare across the top of the frame usually spanning from the top right to 3/4 of the way to the left but only in some frames. in the m2, this light streak crosses frames on the flim, whereas on the m4p, it doesnt but the flaring seems to be in the same position ass the m2 (top right to the left). i suspect that my canon 50 1.4 may be the issue however im not sure if a lens is even capable of that kind of effect. otherwise i think i may have a light leak but i dont think id get a leak in both cameras at the same spot. the attached photo is from the m4p. can anyone shed some light on the matter

Hello, I know I am pushing my camera sensor and lens to the limit by almost shooting straight into the sun. I do this because I want to achieve a cinematic effect. On my last shoot however I noticed a very strange flare issue: in the attached two photos there is a clear band on the top of the photo that is not affected by the lens flare. Has anyone seen this behaviour before? What could be the reason. I would prefer to have the flair everywhere consistently. Is this a sensor defect? Or maybe due to the 50 mm hood I use on the lens (although I doubt this can explain the rectangular nature of the artefact). I look forward to hearing from you, regards, michel

Playing around yesterday, I discovered this weird flare pattern when pointing at the sun. Images are at f/8 and f/5.6. Is this ... normal? I’ve never seen anything like it. Setup was: Leica CL M-Adapter-L Voigtlander 40mm f/1.2 Voigtlander 75mm f/1.5 No filters on any lens, either, so not sure what could be causing it.

Dear all Here a few shots with the APO-Summicron 35. For those who shoot with this lens, do you consider this normal ? (I wasn’t too surprised with the 2nd shot, but I didn’t expect the 1st one to show so much flare)

As shown in the picture, I shot this using my new 35mm 1.4 FLE lens at widest aperture and I’m shooting with the lens hood on. Does anyone happen to know what caused the circular light rings around all light bulbs? Is it due to lens defects for this particular lens or it’s a general thing for FLE lenses? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, A couple of years ago, I bought a 50 mm Summicron V5 (seconhand) to use with my M240. I acknowledge that this is a classic and a highly revered lens and I do like it in many ways. But, I am struggling a lot with low contrast and kind of 'milky' / flat images in many situations when the light is coming from different angles outside the frame. As far as I understand, this is a normal behavior with this specific lens. And I truly admire those, who are able to work their way around it and use it creatively. However, many times I don't have the opportunity to recompose / avoid these specific lightning situations. And personally, I don't like this effect on the images. My question is: Can you recommend another Leica 50 mm lens that would keep the contrast better in these situations? Maybe another version of the Summicron or maybe the Summilux ASPH? Or do they all behave the same way with regards to flare/low contrast in these specific situations? If this has already been discussed elsewhere, I apologize in advance. Thanks. -
Roughly one in six/ten photos shows significant flare (shooting with a Summicron 50mm f2) I've checked the lens and body internals, nothing appears wrong. Is this normal? Problem with lens or body?

Salve a tutti, ho acquistato da pochi giorni il Summilux 35 usato 11663 e sto effettuando alcuni scatti di prova. Mi piace tantissimo la resa e come ben sapete è una grande ottica. Ho provato a scattare in controluce e ottengo questo chiarore molto evidente. Ho utilizzato il paraluce, ma anche senza di esso avrei ottenuto lo stesso risultato in quanto da come vedete il sole entra nell'inquadratura. Chiedo ai possessori del Summilux se questo è un comportamento normale dell'obiettivo; in tutte le altre situazioni di scatto ritengo sia perfetto, brillante con una resa straordinaria. Vi ringrazio in anticipo e auguro a tutti voi buona giornata e buona luce.
