Advertisement Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Hi adan, Take a look here Red Edge--Which lenses?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
bedaberger Posted February 17, 2010 Share #142 Posted February 17, 2010 Does anyone of you have issues with the Zeiss Biogon 2.8/21 ? As I own that lens and consider to buy the M9, that would be very interesting to me! ;-) Is there somewhere to read about exit pupils of different lenses? There is nothing to read in the tech papers of Leica and Zeiss... Thanks! Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure, Andy?The M6 had no end of electronics problems when first introduced.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest trond Posted February 19, 2010 Share #146 Posted February 19, 2010 Lloyd Chambers just published a number of pictures taken with the ZM 15mm/f2.8 on the M9. http://www.diglloyd.com/prem/prot/DAP/LeicaM9/examples-15mm.html (subscription required) They all show sever red edges.

Jerry_R Posted February 19, 2010 Share #148 Posted February 19, 2010 They could also (or only) - like it was stated in another thread - release LR (or other RAW developer) action\profile. The benefit would be obvious - these problems are not static for different lenses. Sometimes you need to treat it more, sometimes less. And RAW developer is better than any in body fixed solution, unless based on reference picture made for each camera-body combination by owner.

Pablo LeicaM8 Posted November 26, 2015 Share #151 Posted November 26, 2015 Hello everybody, My two cents: I found the red edge issue when using my 28 elmarit asph. I own two lenses, a 50 Summicron type IV and a 28 elmarit asph. The summicron is not 6bit coded, so I created two user profiles, one for each lens. The user profile for the 28mm has auto detection of lens whereas the 50mm has lens manually set to that focal length. The fact is that I forgot to change the profile when I went form 50mm to 28mm, so I had very clear red edge on the left side of every picture I took with the 50mm settings and the 28mm lens, basically the in camera software did not work for the 28mm.... my fault Best regards Pablo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
