M240 - Forget the Biogon?


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

ZM Biogon 21mm/4,5 @f4,5. M240, fw 1.1.1.0, ISO 3200,

 

Manual lens correction as 'Elmarit 21mm/f2,8' (pre-asph).

 

Good news: no more Italian flag, may be Canadian.

for me it looks very bad as with M9.

That convinces me to sell mine now.

 

For B&W users:

it is perfect on the Monochrom or B&W from the M9, I used it very much till I invested in the Super-Elmar 21mm :)

 

for architecture: it has no distortion!!

and can be corrected with Cornerfix!

... fw 1.1.1.0 ...

The last version 1.102 ...

I really wish people would refrain from making up their own fantasy firmware version numbers :mad:

 

The current M (Typ 240) firmware is 1.1.0.2. Okay?

 

 

Perhaps it also improves the performance of the Biogon.

I'm afraid it doesn't. At least my short-back-focus 21 mm lens, which also creates red edges to the left and the right in the M, hasn't improved by updating the M's firmware from 1.1.0.0 to 1.1.0.2 ... so I guess it won't help with the C Biogon 21/4.5 ZM either.

Ok, I remembered it the wrong way. Read it as: 'early release certainly not offering an adequate correction for the cited lens' . (Sounds it better? Okay?) :D

Color cast and distortion aside, how they compare?

I compared only at f/5.6!

 

the C-Biogon 21/4.5 is sharper in the center and the Super-Elmar 21/3.5 is much sharper in the edges!

No problems of the Super-Elmar on the M9.
