Hi First. Are you sure you mean vignetting - thr picture being brighter towards the edges??? I could understand if it's the opposite. I owned that lens once - my first Pentax lens actually, with my MX. I'm sure there is no vignetting visible to the naked eye - that would surprise me very much. I shot many, many rolls with that lens and never noticed anytng like you describe. The cause might be elsewhere; in the viewfinder i.e. Also, when you look through it - the aperture is wide open - that might extend the problem of light fall off (?!). Jens
-----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Boris Liberman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 8. juli 2003 17:26 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: Vignetting of M 35/2.8 Hi! Recently I got my SMC M35/2.8 lens. It looks almost new, I can hardly find any signs of it being used. Still I have a question. Though I haven't developed a film that was (partially) exposed with this lens, I already can notice quite heavy vignetting in the viewfinder of my ZX-L. That is, the corners of the image are way darker than the center. And I am pointing the camera at blank window on my computer screen or at evenly colored and illuminated wall... It looks very odd to me. Can it be that my sample is optically defective? Boris
