I may have to get one of mine from storage along with the big barndoor shade.
We will see how it works on the M9

Very nice work, Jim^^^^^^^. You've also got a good sample of this lens!

Been checking this thread for a while, so it's nice to finally be able to contribute something. 1949 10-bladed Summitar on a IIIc, Portra 160.

I recently had a friend give me a 10 bladed late 1940s Summitar. I have always enjoyed the look this little collapsable chrome beauty gives, I think it goes well with the Double-X I have been shooting. Those Portra 160 shots are beautiful though!

I have a Summitar (uncoated) on the way. What shade do you boys use on this lens?

I use the Leitz "barndoor" shade, or a series filter adapter / hood if using filter.

I have two Summitars, one coated, one uncoated. Both have really clean glass. On the uncoated lens, I use a generic hood I got from Heavystar, which attaches to a Summitar - 39mm adapter. Using that hood, I have not had any problems with flare. On the coated lens, which I have not had for that long, I'm not using a hood or shade (except in rainy conditions), although I keep a filter on the front which may provide a modicum of protection. I'm discovering that this particular lens flares very little, which is contrary to the received wisdom that Summitars are particularly flare prone.
I had another coated Summitar a few years ago (sold it) for which I also had the barn door shade, but that shade was so ungainly I never used it and ultimately sold it.
A clean, uncoated Summitar is a glorious lens, and I look forward to seeing what you do with it, Erik.

Thank you, Luditte Frank and Steve. I will look for a generic hood and an adapter.
Great picture, Steve. I really enjoy your Sweden series, being a big fan of Swedish detective stories (Mankell), but never been there myself.
