click Posted May 26, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted May 26, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, Â Do you have experience with the 35 Lux M3 goggled lens? Â Does the viewfinder show the scene like other external viewfinders? For example: the 24 viewfinder shows perspective change and the near/far relationships as it will appear on film. Â How do prints look at 1.4 with the closest focus distance of 26 inches? Â Possible to use 12526 hood with the goggles? Â How difficult was it to find series seven filters for it? Â Thoughts on the lens? Â Thank you in advance, Â Click Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

giordano Posted May 26, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted May 26, 2011 The goggles give you the same view as the built-in M3 finder but less than life size and not quite as bright. The rangefinder and parallax compensation work as normal. Â The lens itself and its hoods and filters are the same as the non-goggled 35mm Summilux, which has been discussed and compared extensively in other threads. According to the 1975 Leitz catalogue the early ones took E41 filters, changing over to Series 7 (fixed in the lens hood) from serial number 2 166 701. Â Series 7 filters are available from firms like B+W; E41 are more difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_bergquist Posted May 26, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted May 26, 2011 The 'goggles' work by 'minifying' the finder image so that the 35mm subject field fits inside the regular 50mm bright frame. The rangefinder image is changed in the same way. Â Consequently, the finder and rangefinder work just as with a regular lens. You focus and compose just as normal.
