Some random 15mm shots of the place where I live: Nijmegen

norbertnl · 08/31/06, 12:31 AM

Last sunday I'd walk the 15mm lens I had borrowed from a friend. It's a fun item, surely worth owning. I wonder what the new Tri-Elmar will be like - of course without the crop factor ;-)

Best,
Norbert

Hey, Norbert!

These are a bit extreme even for my taste ( and I am a wide bloke...), but very exciting nonetheless.

Very nicely done.

Let's hope the new Tri-Elmar is at least as good as this...

Hi Andy,

It's indeed extreme, to consume in homoeopathic doses only. I found that acute angles seen from the outside work pretty well sometimes. Well, normally I'm a moderate focal length guy: 28, 35, 50 preferably.

Can't argue with this...

Norbert -

Remarkable lack of distortion, partly due to Leica and partly due to the care you used when shooting.

Whoa! Those are some eye catching shots. I like the time of day that you shot at.

Beautiful city, beautiful lens.

At nearly $3,800 US, I'll be wondering about that one for quite some time.

Brent,

Same with me. These pictures were taken with the Voigtländer Super Heliar 15mm. Pretty amazing lens. As long as ultrawide is not your most frequently used focal length, the Voigtländer seems perfectly right.

Best,
Norbert

Albert,

It was a dull Sunday afternoon. Mostly there were some dramatically dark clouds during this rainy August however. They added drama to wideangle shots as you could just use them as background material (dark as they were).
