I love the charm of classic Summar.

I really like those images. I've been looking for a Summar, but nearly all have scratches all over the front element. How would this effect images? Any suggestions?

ayazdani, is your summar coated? Mine is relatively clean but it still tends to flare at least slightly in extremely high contrast situations like that.

No coating at all. Mine is definitely flare-prone as well (when pointing the camera in the general direction of the sun).
I did adjust contrast to achieve a black.

I have scratches a specks of black dust in mine and don't notice them at all in my photographs.

scratches will not reduce sharpness, but contrast. flare is increased, shooting in clear sunlight is difficult. the more scratches, the bigger the effects.

Kodak Ektar. From a couple of days ago.

Shots from my Summar, with a hood, aren't really as low contrast as many images I've seen. I use mine as my main 50. It is coated, though.
