Your hood may have vignetted too but try shooting w/o it and compare. The f/3.4 superseded the f/4 and has less light fall off. I think the f/4 spec was to use the 39mm filter and that was a big constraint. The f/3.4 uses a 48mm filter, but it's also a half stop faster. It's a nice compact lens. With photoshop you can probably fix the light fall off. -Dennis Sonny Carter wrote: > Recently I packed up and sold a few camera items that I no longer used, and > used the proceeds to purchase a Leica M6. > > Several years ago when I gave up my M6, My pal Jim Schulman said I'd live > to > regret it, and he was right. > > It's a beauty, a Wetzlar model, that's been hot-rodded so that only the 28, > 35 50 and 90 framelines show. > > I've been getting out with it and some Reala and the 21 mm Super Angulon > f4.
