None of the lens are in the best of condition and particulary the Leica 50mm is very fogged inside the lens. I made a spot filter for the Thamber as the original was missing when my Dad got the lens years ago.

Leica made the Thamber between 1934 & 1940. It was designed to give a soft focus image at certain apertures for portrait work. The middle section of the lens when the lens is stopped down gives a sharp image. As you open up the lens you get the soft section from F2.2 to F6.3. The centre spot filter they made blocks out this sharp centre of the lens giving you an even greater softness. It was my Dad's favorite lens of all time!
