Check out the website link in my last post for some photos taken by the same lens.

Your photo seems to be dark and blur, as compared. Leica pre-asph are classic lenses with nice and soft photo, but don't think it should be blur. Looks like a hazy lens with blocked lighting.

Notes bro. Tks for yr feedback. I will drop by mr Tay side n check it out. Already feedback to d seller to enquire if he had any issues before.

Hi

Sorry to barge in. Bro Thoth, u should know who I am

The Lux is not in tip top condition. The photos were hazy, not sharp at all. Either haze or really dusty. Better send it for servicing, cleaning. Also see if the coatings are affected cos the contrast not as good as it should. The 35 Lux is a classic and this looks worse than ur cron.

Cheers

Just done at Mr Tay shop. Seems d problem is some smudge marks on d filter n front / back elements. Focus tab grease drying up too. Asked me to test on bro pit14 x pro 1 n c how first as he sees no haze or separation or fungus.

Funny old fella. But quite straight forward. Haha

 

[pit14]

How come there's smudge marks on the front/back elements? You kiss the lens before you sleep at night izit? lol

Kena nag by the old man??

So how's the CLA? Gotta be careful when buying Leica lenses buddy. Some are not in good condition and may not be restored if really bad....

Mr Tay checked d lens, says could be focusing issues with my fotga adapter. He cleaned some smudges from the front and back elements for free and ask me to swap wif bro pit14's lux 35 pre asph copy and try shooting and compare. So went to meetup bro pit14 just now. Did some shots wif his lux and my lux, both version 2 Canada copies. We compare and found the picture quality to be quite similar now. Just downloaded some pics and will post here in awhile. Cheers.
