Advertisement Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Hi jahnpack, Take a look here Some CV lens samples with M9. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Jerry_R Posted February 22, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2010 Thx! How about focusing on 35mm 1.4? Any focus shift? Or you don't close it at all? How about color shift on 12mm? Did you set it as Leica lens in menu? Are these JPGs or processed RAWs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thompsonkirk Posted February 22, 2010 Share #5 Posted February 22, 2010 I too would like to see more. As a first impression of the 35, the double-outlining of bokeh circles isn't too appealing. Kirk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
horosu Posted February 22, 2010 Share #6 Posted February 22, 2010 I would like to see if there is any focus shift with the 35. Wide open it looks good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epand56 Posted February 22, 2010 Share #7 Posted February 22, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Super Wide Heliar 12 got a lot of red on the border on the M9, not the great lens that instead is on the M8. The 35/1.4 is not at all bad (love the one with the cat) but the bokeh is nothing if compared with that of the Lux. I understand that the difference in price, however, may help to close an eye (as we say in Italy). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgio Posted February 22, 2010 Share #8 Posted February 22, 2010 Love the 35 shots. GEO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnpack Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share #9 Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Hi again, thanks for the feedback. i am not a lens tester actually. leicas may perform better for sure. never used one. I noticed no obvious focus-shift in nokton. Seems to perform well. portraits are all at 1.4. these are processed raws by the way. by the way two more images from 12CV at the blog.

Jerry_R Posted February 23, 2010 Share #10 Posted February 23, 2010 Any comments about "red corners" or "color shift" on 12mm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashwinrao1 Posted February 23, 2010 Share #11 Posted February 23, 2010 Thanks, Jahn. To me, the bokeh in these shots is a bit jarring. I imagine that some may like the effect, but there's alot of geometry in the bokeh, and the straight lines seemed to draw my attention there instead of to the beautiful model. It'd be interesting to compare a Leica or Zeiss equivalent to your CV's for the same shot to see how they draw... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnpack Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share #12 Posted February 24, 2010 Hi, yes the bokeh is harsh at 1.4. more 35mm samples added By the way i changed the blog's folder name Depo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_R Posted February 24, 2010 Share #13 Posted February 24, 2010 yes the bokeh is harsh at 1.4 Not so bad, not on all shots. Depends on background and distance. Some are fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnpack Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share #14 Posted February 24, 2010 Not so bad, not on all shots. Depends on background and distance.Some are fantastic. you are right. i dont have any other lenses so that i can't compare. i am very happy with the nokton by the way.

Alnitak Posted February 25, 2010 Share #17 Posted February 25, 2010 For those interested, I've got piles of shots with various Voigtlander lenses on the M9 (and M8.2). I can't take many more as I have sold most of my Voigtlander glass, but you an peruse the sets here; there are 13 different Voigtlander lenses represented: Collection: Voigtlander I still have the 12mm, 35/2.5 PII Color-Skopar, 50/2.5 Color Skopar and 40/1.4 Nokton. I also have test shots floating around with a lot of other lenses that aren't loaded up there yet, such as the 28/3.5, 28/1.9, 35/1.4 and a few others. If there is enough demand, I can get some of those loaded up. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_R Posted February 25, 2010 Share #18 Posted February 25, 2010 Thanks Jeff! I see you sold 15mm. Did you replace it with WATE? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alnitak Posted February 25, 2010 Share #19 Posted February 25, 2010 Thanks Jeff!I see you sold 15mm. Did you replace it with WATE? Yes. The 15mm was lovely, but I didn't feel like dealing with CornerFix all the time, and I love to shoot at 16mm. The WATE let me shoot wide all the time w/o a workflow issue, and has the added benefit of flexibility of focal length. It's also a tad faster. Overall a winning combination. It's now one of my favorite lenses. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_R Posted March 8, 2010 Share #20 Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I still consider below scenarios and haven't decided yet... A) CV 12mm + CV 15mm +24mm M CV 12mm + WATE + 24mm M C) CV 12mm + 24mm M I wonder how 15mm and WATE @16mm differ in sharpness, contrast, color, flare. Looking on MTFs - 16mm i best when closed down to f/8. 15mm is also best between 5.6 and 8. 24mm I plan to use for landscapes and architecture and inside rooms, it has lowest distortion. I wonder how frequently I would use WATE on different focals for these purposes too... I've heard complains on its distortion, here on the forum... (in past I had 14-28mm zoom and used 14mm most often) 12mm I plan to use for special effects, close ups, distortions, mostly when subject is quite close in center of the frame, and I want to show some background around too. Any comments welcome! BTW: here you can see few 12mm photos of our colleague: Depo PS: in fact I would also consider 15\16mm for landscapes.
