luis triguez Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 When you use a Summitar + hood with a LTM Leica or similar, the first trouble you find is de impossibility to see correctly through the viewfinder. Among all the choices to avoid such a situation is to change the shade for the correct one: the massive "barn door" (I must confess it�s so ugly to me). Other is to bay an expensive bright line finder SBOOI. Another to use zone focusing system� and so on. Mine is very simple as you can see.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael schub Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Your photos have that wonderfu; classic look - beautiful. I don't know the thread size of the Summitar but this guy sells vented hoods in various classic thread sizes: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Metal-39mm-Screw-in-Vented-Hood-for-Leica-Summicron_W0QQitemZ7575420709QQcategoryZ78999QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew in Austin Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Classic combo and the images show the two well. The SBOOI may exceed the value of the Zorki body, but it makes framing soooooo much easier. Best Regards - Andrew in Austin, TX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosteaM Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Luis, I love that glass. you nailed the exposure to the point where I feel like touching the glass. The lens is so crisp it gives a 3D look as well. Great job, thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis triguez Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Andrew. You are right. Too expensive the SBOOI LTM viewfinder. Nevertheless I still looking for a cheap one. Maybe one of these days in the big auction :-) Mihai. As kind as usual. The problem with the bottle: no wine any more in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les_lammers Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Luis, Look for a Voightlander Kontur finder. It is a 1:1 50mm finder and a lot less $$$$ than the SBOOI. Here is a pic from a completed auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/Voigtlander-Kontur-viewfinder-24x36-format-for-50mmlens_W0QQitemZ7593286315QQcategoryZ4702QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincenzo_maielli Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I own a Summitar lens, that i mount both on Leica M2 or FED 5B.I use an original lens hood model IROOA: this don't are specifically dedicated for Summitar, but work perfectly too, without any problems with viewfinder or rangefinder patch in both Leica M2 or FED 5B.Ciao.
