The lens is perfect for walking around and shooting unnoticed, just set the lens to f8.0, zone focus, and you can shoot unnoticed shoot the hip!

Thanks Trond!

 

I think Steve Huff could say almost the same about 15mm ;-)

VOIGTLANDER 15 HELIAR LENS REVIEW - CV 15

 

Anyway - the more I read and watch samples - I see that they are different lenses. Different focals. At wide - each mm counts. I know, if I would have wate - I would 99% of time have it set as 16mm. And still miss some mm on wide side.

 

Thanks for your comments Trond!

I completely agree with you, and I am waiting for the new CV 12mm, which I will buy as soon as I can get hold on one.

 

I have the Sigma 12-24mm for full frame on my Canon 1Ds3. It´s a poor lens in terms of sharpness, but the coverage on 12mm and full frame, wow!

 

I would really like that kind of coverage on my M9.

 

Best regards

If your lens is rangefinder coupled - you will see results in viewfinder, like for other lenses.

 

If not - just use scale on the lens and your imagination. Its depth of field is large.

If you close it down and set hyperfocal - you do not need to focus at all, just "point & shoot".
