German Leica 50mm f\/2 Summar I took off the Russian Zorki 4. \u00a0Since the lens lacks any coating whatsoever, the flaring is way over the top when I shoot towards any light source. \u00a0It took a lot of post processing in Capture NX 2 to get the contrast right and the colors how I wanted, but it does have that Leica glow. \u00a0I think it&#8217;s good for random not so serious pictures, and the 4 to 3 aspect ratio is quite pleasing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\"
