For the record. I just spotted an auction on eBay (item 6532556871) of a cut-in-half Summar lens for store display. It is quite clear that all four lens groups are peened into their mounts. The peening over is always on the side facing the iris. I'm definitely saving a copy of the picture.
Meanwhile, I solved my problem by getting an optically gorgeous Summar for $111 on eBay. Fun lens. Yes, very soft corners wide open, and it vignettes, too. But it is not at all soft at f:8. I've not had any flare problems, even without a hood, and (of course) an uncoated lens. |
