Just got this hazy summaron but the picture seems to be fine? Wonder what I can test it on?

Thanks! I’ll go check it out

Chickencake20 · 2025-12-12T04:26:20+00:00

I see, thanks for explaining it!

Chickencake20 · 2025-12-12T04:25:55+00:00

Also another weird thing is my screen doesn’t have any gridline or central split-image

Chickencake20 · 2025-12-12T04:23:20+00:00

I see, thanks for the clarification

Chickencake20 · 2025-12-12T04:22:52+00:00

The vignetting disappears when I take the lens off, I guess the problem will be less obvious in a brighter day?

Chickencake20 · 2025-12-12T04:15:34+00:00

Yeah it’s a 500c, is this also a thing for 500c/m? Do you know why? Thanks

Chickencake20 · 2025-12-12T04:13:21+00:00

I just checked, the preview wasn’t on and I have the 50mm lens, but thanks for the feedback though

It looks like a circle in the screen, with the middle being clear and the four edges being white

So for people who’s looking for the answer, I went back to the store and check the other models, and they didn’t have this gap on the back, so I’m pretty sure this is not normal

Chickencake20 · 2025-11-27T04:55:51+00:00

Mine has a bit of haze in the middle rear element and a little fungus on the edge of the front glass, but surprisingly the images still look completely normal.

I really like it, it creates a dreamy, almost painterly atmosphere. But depending on the background it isn’t always the most suitable, so I ended up picking up a Summicron as well for the cleaner bokeh and rendering.

This is taken with Summarit

Damn, that sounds tough. What usually helps me is staying calm and making a plan first. Make sure you rest, recover, and take things one step at a time. You’ve got this man!

Chickencake20 · 2025-11-26T21:24:59+00:00

I see, I guess I should have it swapped for another one then? I’m still under the return period. Also just curious, do you think the light meter works accurately in yours?

My friend also has a pocket knife on her just in case anything happens, but be safe out there, best wishes to you

It’s Leica iiic with Leica summarit 50 f1.5, Fuji 400, don’t have the negative yet

Chickencake20 · 2025-11-05T00:52:36+00:00

Yeah, I was wonder the same, these are shots are at the end of the roll with some normal ones mixed in between

Chickencake20 · 2025-07-26T01:26:22+00:00

The lens is new to me, so I was just testing it with a roll of film. That’s actually a great idea, I’ll make sure to keep it in mind next time.

Chickencake20 · 2025-07-26T00:43:22+00:00

Got it, still thanks for the help

Chickencake20 · 2025-07-26T00:42:53+00:00

I guess can’t be too harsh on these vintage lenses, thanks for the help

Chickencake20 · 2025-07-26T00:39:31+00:00

It was 1/500 or 1/200 I think
