Clarence, it's worth trying the flat field plugin from LR5 to correct color and fall off or color only .

Works for me with the M9 and 21 SA 3.4 combo !

Cheers JM

I often use the Kobalux Super wide 21mm, F2.8 on theM-9, Sony a7 & a7r, plus all the a NEXs

they ever built. It's a screw mount lens a Leica M adapter for the M-9 : both for short $ compared to a Leitz lens and is better than ANY 21 Leitz I've ever owned, The Voigtlander lenses are terrific as

well at 1/4 the price of their Leica counterparts. Here's a couple I shot with the M-9 and a

Voigtlander 12mm this afternoon with no red edge to speak of and no editing except for resizing-

right out of the M-9.

M240 + Elmarit-M 90mm Typ 11807. A more-or-less straight ooc jpg, with added vignette. The b&w tones of the M240 never fail to delight.

I'm a big fan of the Minolta 40 rokkor cle version. No need for a 35 pre king of Bokeh!

 

Agreed. The prices on the 35/2 pre-asph are getting absurd. There seem to be plenty of lenses that outperform it and have decent bokeh. And its compact size is not such a draw when the M is a little porky. The 40/2 does very well on the M.

1954 Summarit 50mm 1.5 with MP 240. The precision of the RF makes this lens fully usable with great effects .

I have been using an old (1970) Hasselblad Sonnar f5,6 250mm ( not yet T* coated) with a KIPON adapter on my M 240 for portrait and must say I was amazed by its sharpness and colour rendition. It was always a difficult lens on the Hasselblad as it needs proper focusing even at large distances but with the EVF it works.
