k-hawinkler Posted June 13, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted June 13, 2011 Karl-Albert, Â Lovely images, composition, colors, and selective focus. You used your Rigid II Summicron, SOMKY, and UOORF very well. Your lens is from the following time period: 1969-1979, correct? Â I assume you painted a black color inside your SOOKY-M / SOMKY. Correct? How about the UOORF? Â Thanks, K-H.

Karl-Albert Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share #3  Posted June 13, 2011 Karl-Albert, Lovely images, composition, colors, and selective focus.

Correct? How about the UOORF?  Thanks, K-H.  Hello,  you are right, the lens has the number 2444176. The inside of the SOOKY-M had a shiny surface, the colour looked like burnished steel. The bajonett was blank steel all over. There were serious reflections visible in case of backlight. After disassembling the SOOKY-M (which is no problem at all) and paintig all inside surface except the ring having contact to the distance meter the flair had vanished, only a few typical backlight effects of the Summicron remained. However please be carefull in re-assembling the SOOKY-M because its thread has several thread pitches and must be assembled in a dedicated position, otherwise it will not work correect and block against the roll of the distance meter when you mount the SOOKY in the camera.  The UOORF had already inside a deep black and dull surface.  Karl-Albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learn something new every day. I have these devices and indeed the inside is covered with a black dull coat. If I ever run into the problems you described, I know where to look.  My UOORF is marked 16508. My SOOKY-M / SOMKY isn't specifically marked. The Rigid Summicron I have is from 1956. I just love that lens.  Thanks again.  Best, K-H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
