When your lens is at the infinity hard stop, is the rf image in the vf correctly aligned?

Did you ever try and fix this? Mine came today, and it hit infinity before the hard stop, in fact it hit infinity before the infinity lock began to engage. I recalibrated it to hit infinity correctly. As for distances closer than infinity, it was focusing fine before I adjusted it, but also after.

Don't turn the ring as far as they do in the video, it only takes a bit of movement to move infinity a good ways. Once you get close to infinity hard stop being right, you can make ~1mm adjustments to fine tune it perfectly.

I didn’t touch it as it focuses fine using the rf patch.

Right, but it will still focus fine using the rf patch and still hit infinity at the hard stop if you calibrate it as per the video.

Yer gonna make me watch that video aren't you?  Fine, I'll watch it.

I just got this lens last week, of course i wanted the leica summaron, but 3k eurs for a f5.6 was hard pillow to swallow so i went for the ttartisan, i was quite happy with the results it gave me on my first time out. Its a fun lens to shoot without thinking much about things....

It feels very well constructed, image is sharp enough and has some character, it also suffers from some haze, but which can be avoided if not shooting into the light directly...

Some images with an m10:

I have a few more images on my blog, https://ailukewitsch.wordpress.com/2023/05/28/bucharest-14/

I don't find anything bad with the lens, but if i continue to enjoy i might actually end getting the sumaron :) Cant escape the leica bug.....

I have the Summaron in chrome, but wanted  black, so I got the TT in black.

When you want to be subtle it's a great tiny lens. People relax because it looks like you are shooting an obsolete camera and lens.

It sounds as though your lens has field curvature which is showing even well stopped down. It would be worth trying to determine how evident this is at all apertures by selection of a suitable subject - a large area with detail within it which is oblique to the camera would be useful. FWIW I had a similar 35/2 which suffered significant field curvature wide open as evidenced by soft corners. It sharpened up as expected as it was stopped down though.

After thoroughly testing this lens I find it its behaviour quite odd (at least the copy I have): the hyperfocal scale is off by at least a stop AND hyperfocal infinity (at, say, f/8 or f/11) has the center sharp, but not the edges.

Let me rephrase: when I set my diaphragm to f/11 and focus on 3m, hyperfocal infinity is well within the markings by almost 2 stops (it sits near f/5.6 already) on the lens barrel - BUT the infinity image is only sharp in the center, not along the corners. Yet when I focus the lens all the way to infinity (ditching the hyperfocal setting), the corners become tack sharp edge to edge (all still at f/11).

Does your lens focus correctly using the RF?  If you then focus the lens to the infinity hard stop, does it still focus correctly via the RF?  i.e. everything lined up correctly in the RF at infinity?

Mine focuses past infinity at the hard stop - like every single 7A lens I've used - but focuses accurately w the RF so I use that.

I hadn't given my copy a workout, so decided to take it on a morning walk, knowing I would typically on that walk be shooting smaller things and cropping the images. I was pleasantly surprised that the cropped shots held up well. (M mount lens but shot on a Sony A7rii)

Hello,

Could anyone with a black copy of this lens tell me how it's been going?  Is there any sign that black paint might flake off inside your camera?

Thank you!

Steve

No signs of that at all.  Why would you think it could happen?
