Summicron DR question


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I just received my Summicron DR, really nice condition. A

little bit of dust, but everything else is fine. Mounted it on my M3

and noticed that horizontal lines in the rangefinder patch have a

ghost image. Without the goggles, a line is a line. Is this caused by

the goggles' optics? As focusing is done with verticals anyway, I'm

not scared by this, but I thought I'd ask ...

I just put a DR on an M3 with the goggles. I had not noticed this before, but mine does the same thing. IMHO nothing to be concerned about. I had mine cleaned and recoated by John Van Stelton two years ago. It cost me about $235.00. Enjoy your great "new" lens. For a hood, you can use the costly IROOA or the newer 12585.

 

Cheers.
