Re: Vignetting of M 35/2.8

[Alan Chan]

Perhaps it has to do with the exiting angle of this lens (similar to DSLR 
issue). I used to have the A35/2.8 and experienced the same problem when 
mounted it on MX with Beattie or SE-20 screen. Heavy vignetting at the 
corners of the viewfinder, but gone with standard MX screen or Z-1p. It has 
nothing to do with the actual images however so don't worry.

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?
