Got my long awaited APO Summicron 50/2 Asph today.

Tenth test photo showed a foggy center !

 

The hood was extended, there was no direct sunlight, just a bright cloud cover visible between the trees.

 

What is the remedy ? Send the lens back to Solms ??

Got my long awaited APO Summicron 50/2 ASPH yesterday.

 

I have found, to my grand disappointment, that the lens has a strong propensity for flare, even from cloudy skies, the flare fogging up the photo.

 

Diglloyd.com has researched this, and suggests that cause is inadequate blackening of internal lens surfaces.

 

I guess the lens should go back to Solms for added blackening ?
