...is that lens damaged in some way? Is that the way photos taken with a 1936 Leitz Summar are supposed to look?...

I'm guessing that it's an uncoated lens so shooting into the light (contra jour) is likely to produce the lens flare that you see in the first two pictures but shooting away from the light in the third picture shows no flare.

some uncoated 1936 Summar fun from my first Summar - if I would have known earlier, that this is such a fun lens:

Elmar 135/4 from 1960, shot last Saturday (a promotion called Push-a-mate-off-a-cliff day, where we have a discounted one day introduction). The blue glider is a tandem.

 

ISO 100 @ 1/1600 s, about f/8 I think, on a NEX-5n.

... The blue glider is a tandem. ...

I feel sure I remember a glider being a sleek, silent, engineless aircraft with long wings and what's shown here being what you'd use if matters pertaining to the glider took a turn for the worse.:rolleyes:

Now beat this rendering with one of the modern optics Mr. Karbe ;-)

It's the same uncoated Summar, as the post before, but into the light!

I am of the strong opinion, Leica NEEDS to produce a second line of lenses with modern built and ergonomics but classic optical formula and classic single (or even entirely without) coating!

The same way, I sold most of the latest Leica lenses, I tried, I would likely love and buy them all, if they resembled the old lenses (Blackstone, are you listening).

We call those "sail planes" :rolleyes:

 

Fwiw, in Swedish (and I believe also German) this is also the term used. John, very nice to see an old Elmar being put to good use. And Dirk, you must stop posting photos from that Summar ;) it renders beautifully! I think I must soon get one. They're hard to find though, it seems.

One from earlier this year from my 1957 pairing of IIIg and Elmar 5cm f3.5 with Acros 100. (Deliberately shot to give limited DoF).

 

Really must try to find the time/opportunity to put them to more use!

Cooke Taylor Hobson 3 inches f1.3 proto type + S2

Just got this lens back from master to modify it to S2. Will do more test shots later. Do find that this lens has the characteristic of Angenieux S3. Need to test it more.

The hood I had was a bit long so has slight dark corners.
