35 Cron V2 Pre ASPH. Vignettes wide open.
Did you use a hood?
Please dont tell me I bought the wrong hood.....
No, I'm not an expert but I believe this hood should work. I don't know what could have caused the vignetting.
I use the 12571J on my v.1 Summicron 35mm. I don't think it's the hood.Just read that the lens originally came with a vented hood :bang:

The vents' purpose is not to interfere with the viewfinder. They don't have any impact on the image AFAIK.
But you might have bought a longer hood that causes this problem. Definitely try shooting a similar scene with the hood and without it. One at infinity, one at close distance.
Ill do just that next weekend. I shot those photos wide open. Might that be the culprit ?

I wouldn't say so, provided that the lens is in good working order.
I though vignette affects all lenses, be it new state of the art Leica glass, or old Elmars... Or am I mistaking vignette for diffraction...
