[Leica] First test Summicron Collapsible

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll)]

Hi Len,

I can not remember if I have shot with the lens hood, anyway, as said to
Hoppy all lens will react similar against de light. I think that these
lenses are on their best between 5.6 and 8 or ...11, I remember very good
results with my old Rigid even at 2.8, but always I should avoid shot
against the minimal source of light, as you say these lenses are very
sensibles to flare, on the next days I want to show more examples to
analyze.

Thanks for looking and commenting,

Saludos cordiales
Luis

Luis,

Perfect. I like the look. I think this was what you were looking for.  I
think you need a lens hood for #4. I found this lens flares easily as well
so care must be taken. I found the rigid to be better below f8. Edwin says
the design is different between the two and the rigid is improved. I think
your collapsible looks better then mine.  
Mine is a little hazy and very soft up to f5.6.

Saludos,
Len
