wolan Posted March 23, 2021 Share #1  Posted March 23, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I bought a Super Elmar 21mm f3.4 on Ebay and i just received. Everything looks fine, except when I set the aperture at f3.4 it seems to me that the blades do not open completely, looks like they remain a third of stop closed, I do not see a perfect circle. Maybe is just my impression but can you confirm this is ok?  Thank you Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Hi wolan, Take a look here Super Elmar 21mm f3.4 second hand: is this ok?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pgk Posted March 23, 2021 Share #2  Posted March 23, 2021 Not sure. Its difficult to see but I think that mine might open a little more and the resulting aperture does look pretty round. But its a small hole to view as its a wide-angle. Does it work ok? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poli Posted March 23, 2021 Share #3  Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) My 24 Elmar 3.8 behaves the same. I think it is fine. Edited March 23, 2021 by poli Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
