Jupiter 9 Flare Problem

[chojna]

Advise please. I have a J9 (black) sharp etc but:-

Indoors - OK
Sun behind me - OK
Sun at an angle - not OK

Is it just a matter of using a lens hood or are there other issues ?

A lens hood is key. I solved my problem with a 39mm lens hood that found on eb*y.

 

[Fedzilla_Bob]

Yeah... that's it 49mmm... yeah....

Thanks! I just had a heart attack hoping I hadn't sent Chojna off after the wrong sized item. Glad you caught it.

I use a 1'' plus a 2'' Heliopan lens "tube". Those 3 inches are just enough, though sometimes a little vignetting occurs.

I found mine with american eagle on eb*y. He doesn't have any listed at this time.
