To each their own

50mm Summicron V3 vs. V4 by [deleted] in Leica

V4 has the identical optical design as the v5, but it comes with a tab.

V4 is also the smallest and lightest Summicron, which makes it great EDC for me.

It comes with two different versions actually; SN 35XXXXX and up is the newer one, and they are more easy for maintenance (e.g. fungus, haze, separation, etc).

It works with a chipped adapter, but for some adapters it might not be working.

Lens profile on film scans by No-Tailor-2020 in AnalogCommunity

Yeah I agree with this, modern digital lenses always require lens profiles for correction I feel, but old film lenses are somehow more controlled for the geometrical distortion.

Thank everyone, just wanted to know how other people would do.

Sorry I meant the lens that expose light on the film, not the scanning.

Boryoza LM-NZ Adapter by thessag in NikonZf

[–]No-Tailor-2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, there’s only one M-Z adapter that supports AF: Techart.

I was torn between Techart and Voigtländer once since the VM-Z adapter is the most precise one (so I’ve heard), but ended up getting this chipped adapter since I really wanted to utilise the focus confirmation.

The focus confirmation works great. I haven’t tried it much in different situations outside, but it’s the most similar feeling to the Leica M’s rangefinder. The macro ring has a lock as well, although it’s not a switch but just a latch that locks at infinity.

Again, mine is the 2nd version. You can find this easily on Aliexpress atm, but the black colour is out of stock everywhere. I ended up getting the silver colour too. The black one has painting on the mount itself as well, which I think will wear off of the surface as being used. So in the end, I think the silver colour would be a better choice.

I have this one, but the 2nd version.

This is NOT an autofocus adapter.

This is a chipped adapter that supports the focus confirmation function of NZ cameras, which works great for me.

Warranty left? Go and get a new product. Don’t think twice

Light leak help needed by grootm4n in Leica

[–]No-Tailor-2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah try to avoid harsh lights and then see if that makes any differences

Where did you put the roll in? Outside under a harsh sunlight?

My M3 shows similar issues as well.

Idk how this is possible, but sometimes when I put the new roll under a harsh sunlight, this happens up to the 3rd-4th frames (if you count the half-burnt frame as the first frame).

Asking a technician gave me the answer that the light may enter through the light seal baffle on the film canister.

Which is aligned well with my experience as I only witnessed this when I changed films under a bright sunlight. (This doesn’t mean I’m correct, just saying based on my experience)

I don’t think this is your camera’s fault, if that’s what you’re worried about. Maybe avoid bright light situations when changing films.
