Advertisement Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Hi jaapv, Take a look here Summicron-C vs. Summarit 35. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lct Posted May 24, 2011 Share #62 Posted May 24, 2011 That is NOt the dedicated Heavystar hood. The dedicated hood has the same size as the standard one i guess. Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted May 24, 2011 Share #63 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) That is correct, but the hood you show is incomplete/ the configuration for E39 lenses. It comes with a 5.5 adapter ring which brings it ca 5 mm forward, thus making it more effective. This is the complete Summicron C hood: Welcome, dear visitor!

lct Posted May 24, 2011 Share #64 Posted May 24, 2011 Ah yes i have an adapter ring like that for series 5.5 filters on the thin Tele-Elmarit 90, w/o filter thread though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philinflash Posted May 24, 2011 Share #65 Posted May 24, 2011 Here is my approach to dealing with 35 mm Cron flare (apologies for the phone-photo). Obviously, this is a standard lens hood with its cover modified to mask-out as much extraneous light as possible on an M8. The cover is semi-permanently attached to the lens hood with automotive adhesive, the sort that is used to attach door-frame weather seal to the car body. Welcome, dear visitor!

lct Posted May 25, 2011 Share #66 Posted May 25, 2011 Interesting indeed. Did you check vignetting at f/16? What are the dimensions of the cut-out if i may ask? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philinflash Posted May 25, 2011 Share #67 Posted May 25, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Interesting indeed. Did you check vignetting at f/16? No vignetting, or I would not have done it.What are the dimensions of the cut-out if i may ask?22x33mm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted May 25, 2011 Share #68 Posted May 25, 2011 You could have done it after checking at f/2, hence my question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philinflash Posted May 26, 2011 Share #69 Posted May 26, 2011 You could have done it after checking at f/2, hence my question.No problem with the question. I have used this for over a year in a wide variety of lighting situations with no vignetting. I believe it helps to reduce flare and improve contrast although I have not done A-B tests in the field to confirm it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted May 26, 2011 Share #70 Posted May 26, 2011 That is quite an interesting Hood and Mask you've put together. My Compliments. I shall have to consider futzing with something like that myself. Query: I'm using the Rokkor 40mm vers ii (if I may call it that) which was original to the Minolta CLE's. It is reputed that the design of this 40 is mechanically/optically a clone of the Summicron/Rokkor 40 that preceded it EXCEPT for Improved Coatings. Can anyone authoritatively confirm this - from experience or cite sources? Thanks for any inputs. btw: have only used the lens a little so far, but it's visual signature as a drawer of images is a near clone of how my Summicron Fifty R looks when shot on my EOS. Still coming to 'grips' with it's diminutive size! Richard in Michigan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted May 26, 2011 Share #71 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) I have both and don't see huge differences flare wise. See: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/discus_e/messages/2/117163.html For more details on those lenses, Joel Matherson is the guy to read. See for instance: 40mm Summicron C v 40mm Rokkor Edited May 26, 2011 by lct 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philinflash Posted May 26, 2011 Share #72 Posted May 26, 2011 Thanks, Richard. It isn't difficult to fashion once you get past the notion of cutting into a perfectly good lens cap. I was inspired by a baffled, collapsable Hasselblad studio lens hood that I have and like. I had a 40mm Minolta lens which seemed fine when I had a CL. I found the CL body (RF and shutter, specifically) to be problematic, however, so I traded out of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design seems quite usable and functional, as well. I've never owned any of the C mount M's, I just was faced with having a once in a lifetime windfall to go M and after opting for a Digital M: I had to be creative as all get out with my Lens Budget. I have a CV 28 f1.9, the Rokkor 40 f2, a CV 75 f2.5, and a Leica 90 f2.8, to round out my 'kit' for use on my Black M8. I am loving my Camera, I love what I get out of it, and out of my lenses, too. There's a steep learning curve between me and fluid unconscious operation of them! Gawd! I've got all the grace and smoothness of an unfolding lawn chair with it in my hands. :-) I love how it's making me think so hard about my photographic processes again! Peace! Richard in Mi.

Philinflash Posted May 27, 2011 Share #74 Posted May 27, 2011 Thanks, Richard. I hope the potential collateral benefit of extra protection for the front lens element is never a factor but who knows? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
