rob3rt5 Posted December 22, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 22, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I purchased a Summilux-M 35mm 1.4f Asph. used - serial number is12589. When I attached the lens to the camera I went to the manual selection section of the menu and was greeted with three different choices: 35 f/1.4 11869/11870/11860 35 f/1.4 ASPHERICAL 11873 35 f/1.4 ASPH. 11874/11883 I selected the middle option, shot a frame and noticed darkened corners. Then I selected the last option, shot a frame and also noticed darkened corners but they seemed a bit better. Which option should I be using and will C1Pro fix the corners or do I need Corner Fix? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Robert J Savard Sacramento, CA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Hi rob3rt5, Take a look here Which 35mm 1.4 Asph to select in menu?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted December 22, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 22, 2009 The 35 1.4 asph is the last option. The middle one is the rare and older aspherical version, the first option the non-aspherical. If you notice vignetting like you describe, you may be underexposing a bit. In any case you do not need special software. C1, Photoshop and LR all have vignetting correction tools.

rob3rt5 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted December 22, 2009 Thanks very much sir. These test shots were done in A mode (sorry). Should I employ a bit of Exposure compensation as a rule? Also I would love to know what settings most seasoned M9 users, like yourself, find to be perfect? Robert Savard Sacramento, CA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 22, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 22, 2009 You've got a histogram to show you It depends on the circumstances. Normally in bright sun I tend to use a compensation of -0.3. Now, with horrible snowy weather I need + 1.3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob3rt5 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted December 22, 2009 Is that why they included that thingamojiggy, what did you call it?- a histogram? Hmmmm, sounds like fun. Thanks again. Robert Savard Sacramento.CA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ario Arioldi Posted December 22, 2009 Share #6 Posted December 22, 2009 Robert, BTW 12589 is not the serial number of your Summilux, is the model number of the hood. Cheeers, Ario Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob3rt5 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted December 22, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) LOL,,,WOW, what a tool I am. That's so funny. I guess it would be 3637043. I was delighted to find out that it doesn't exhibit any focus shift. ROTFL...so funny. I had never taken the lens hood off yet. Today has been an education my friends.
