Film Camera Week for November 19


Recommended Posts

Before I sent my Leica II out for service last month, I took a few photos with its Elmar 5cm 1:3.5 lens. The lens is the original assembly from 1929, uncoated and probably never cleaned.

I must say I was positively surprised because I normally would expect a higher degree of veiling flare, even from a cleaned uncoated pre-WWII lens - and this lens was certainly not clean.

 

The camera and lens is now back from service, but I have yet to shoot a film with the cleaned camera.

 

This is how the camera look (after clean-up) but the photos below is taken before service.
