Advertisement Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Hi tgm, Take a look here Leica Q 21 mm, Rico GW3. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
tgm Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share #2 Posted February 9, 2017 100 % crop border so what about the image quality, is it ok? My impression, very important, autofocus and even manual focus does not work, you need to set the distance manually using the scale best regards Thomas Welcome, dear visitor!

Herve5 Posted February 10, 2017 Share #3 Posted February 10, 2017 Looks quite efficient indeed. From the DNG one may find another setup for the barrel correction that even better solves the (slight) corner deformation. Now, what I'd like to see is rather a teleconverter, but optically I fear it's almost not possible (or it would look like my current setup: an enormous bird-watching scope attached to the camera ;-) H.

lecoupdejarnac Posted February 15, 2017 Share #4 Posted February 15, 2017 The output looks very decent. Do you have any concerns about the weight of the adapter on the end of the lens i.e. could it damage the autofocus motor or anything like that? Would love to see more shots if you have them. I just ordered a Q and am wondering if I should get this adapter too since I also enjoy shooting at 21mm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
millsart Posted February 16, 2017 Share #5 Posted February 16, 2017 Just take two quick snaps and mere them together in post, you can get plenty wide, and you still get the edge to edge sharpness of the Q's native lens Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
