[Leica] what the heck is going on with this vintage Leica lens?

[Peter Dzwig]

I agree with the others. The old lenses were "tuned" for B&W and probably for
Pan film at that, given when they were made. The issue is that you are using it
in colour and on a digital camera for which it wasn't designed.

That being said, I find it rather an interesting effect, rather like an early
Ektachrome. It could be worth keeping just for that effect!

Is this just how the lens behaves or is there something hinkey going on? it’s at f3.5 1/500 second. It looks like an instagram photo.
