Guest JMF Posted December 25, 2015 Share #2621 Posted December 25, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes, on these early uncoated Leitz lenses just a small hint of haze or - beware - a few cleaning marks in the "soft as young Gouda cheese" will lead to the famous "Leica glow" when light hits the front element. Only remedy for the latter is a good lens hood (the original slip on hood for the Hektor works fantastic) or a trip to Focalpoint for a re-polish and maybe a coating or two. You're right Dirk. I don't have my Hektor birth certificate nor history and will inquire. Yet I did not have it serviced by Focal Point, it's been CLA'd locally in France. I had a 35 Summilux v1 Steel rim serviced by Focal Point recently :-) 35 lux v1 on M240: Au Gaou by JM__, on Flickr Au Gaou by JM__, on Flickr Cheers all ! JM .

menos I M6 Posted December 28, 2015 Share #2629 Posted December 28, 2015 Sure is :-) Traded my 35 FLE away btw, for some vintage french glass ! One cannot go wrong that path ;-) Here is a few from my recently resurrected 35/1.2 v1 Voigtländer on it's first test shots in the wild (the focussing helicoid was way too tight since it left the factory, courtesy of too much of a very thick grease, which is now fixed beautifully): L1004945-M Monochrom--for_flickr by teknopunk.com, on Flickr L1004954-M Monochrom--for_flickr by teknopunk.com, on Flickr L1004944-M Monochrom--for_flickr by teknopunk.com, on Flickr L1005017-M Monochrom--for_flickr by teknopunk.com, on Flickr The ghost (which I like here) is a product of the filter I had on that day - it is gone now and the lens will be surely used naked in the future - it doesn't quite like filters it seems and will immediately flare and show mirror images on a digital M. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
