[Leica] My first problem with Vignetting--Hama hoods

[wrs111445 at yahoo.com (Bill Smith)]

I will say that the Hama 49mm and 55mm adjustable, plastic, rectangular 
hoods don't flare or vignette w/ my 35 or 50, but are too big horizontally 
and intrude into the VF. I wish they were square instead. They also tend to 
fall off because they are not screw-in but friction- fit.

film, with several shots vignetted in the
corners. I always use a hood, but not all my hoods were made specifically
for the lenses I use them on.. sometimes the hoods are for a generation
before the lens.

So now, to testing.... I have to figure out which combo I use that does not
work right.....

I may try the .. open the back and the shutter and just plain look at the
corners through the back as you put the hood on, or I may have to try a roll
of film and some reasonably straight forward record keeping.....

We'll see.....
