I have the same experience with some of my lenses.
As a concequence, pictures tend to be slightly underexposed due to this additional light.
I have made some tests with my Super Tak 55mm which I equiped with a teleobjective hood ( on micro 4/3 sensors) which show that this added vignette helps to increase contrasts. |

Eugene Smith appeared in a Pen F ad. One ad used a shoe as a gadget bag to emphasis the camera and lenses small size. |
totally never [/i] looked at Pen F lenses, interesting
i've actually got a couple of lenses on the way atm, got to stop buying stuph for awhile, also i need a winter coat
did a foolish-impulse-bid on a tatty Summitar 5cm f2, and won @ 85 notes
--dated by its serial to 1939 tho--
its quite a piece of work to operate, i always wanted to try leica tho
it wont collapse all the way, it hits the electronics contacts, i need to tape them or so
its severely in need of CLA, its not just innerly-hazy, its got balsam-separate on the front glasses
proper re-centering is the trickiest bit, i read |

i'm really liking this Summitar
i think its well worth investing in a re-balsam-ing of the separating front pair
and a good CLA + lenscap and hood
prolly have to wait till next year but
i do hope Malcolm Taylor is still doing Leitz lenses |

i'm still looking at a Biometar 80mm f/2.8 silver in M42
is this originally 35mm or 6x6? i think 35mm, so maybe will work better on my G1
bit pricy, but apparently quite un-common in M42 |
