Hi All,
Just before i went overseas i fitted a FIKUS to my 35mm Summaron. Gee what
a big mistake that was--I've now got major vignetteing on 3/4 of my photos.
I'm majorly P*&^%ed off about this. However i am trying to remain
philosphical about this and try and rectify the situation to prevent
further irritations. O.K., according to my collectors guide, what i need is
a FOOKH. Don't we all i hear you say. Now the complications sets in due to
theFLQOO which was originally constructed for the 35 Elmar. I can get one
of these for an affordable price-about $20 less than the FOOKH. Have any of
you other LTM brothers used either of these on a LTM Summaron? Please
advise.
Take care,
Gary
