Trev Posted April 29, 2016 Share #14642 Posted April 29, 2016 Anybody help ? Thinking of a 21mm for my film M. Don't like the idea of add on finder. If I frame using the whole of the finder window will I be far out ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can work properly without an external finder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbealnz Posted April 29, 2016 Share #14646 Posted April 29, 2016 I'm considering the same Trev, but if I do go with it, I will definitely be needing a finder. Maybe I'll just do the wider than wide with my SL (Leicaflex). Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 30, 2016 Share #14648 Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Anybody help ? Thinking of a 21mm for my film M. Don't like the idea of add on finder. If I frame using the whole of the finder window will I be far out ? I popped a mate's 21mm onto my M6 yonks ago, and slipped the external finder into the hot shoe. Was a bit weird to switch between the usual viewfinder for focusing and the add on finder for framing, but it did work. In the end I decided it wasn't romantic to use the external finder and actually bought a 28mm Elmarit instead that I also tried that evening. Had a bit of a shock when the pickies were developed. The difference between the FOV of the 21mm over the 28mm was immense. See for yerself, both pickies were taken from the same spot. Ric Welcome, dear visitor!

Fotoklaus Posted April 30, 2016 Share #14649 Posted April 30, 2016 The difference between two focal lengths is bigger the shorter they are. 28 to 21 is huge. 200 to 220 would be hardly noticeable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotoklaus Posted April 30, 2016 Share #14650 Posted April 30, 2016 I fancy the VC 21MM after seeing photoklaus's wonderful shots Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk I can't say anything bad about the lens. I own the older chrome M39- Version, but the newer M- Mount Version should have the same optics. It is very well made and a joy to use. And you don't need a lot of space in your camera bag for it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share #14653 Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Thanks Ric for the test 21-28. Trev, it also interests me 21 , but when I see it takes an external viewfinder , I hesitateI think if you take a lot of landscape photos or photos of architecture you will need a 21Otherwise the 28 should be sufficient under "standard" conditions. For street photos I mainly use 28 as Adam or sometimes 35.Elsewhere , simply back a little a few meters and you arrive to photograph the same thing We use most his 28 than its 21 and it sometimes already vignette (I mean with 28) . We can love the distorting effect of 21 or not. the difference between 35 and 28 is interesting per example for landscapes. Trev do you have already a 35 or 28 ?

christoph_d Posted April 30, 2016 Share #14654 Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Don't have the Voigtlander 21mm, but the 25mm; the old style one, not rangefinder coupled but sweet and small and with screw mount. Distances have to be estimated, though with the depth of field of an f4/25 that is not a problem. On the M you could use the Rangefinder window, instead of an external finder; it covers the entire area plus an extra bit, but not an unmanageable extra bit... Welcome, dear visitor!

gbealnz Posted April 30, 2016 Share #14655 Posted April 30, 2016 Oh boy, all this talk and thinking of the 21mm, it has my GAS levels rising. Time for a bit of colour, it will keep the Doc happy.

My thinking was because I take a lot of motorbike shots. Sometimes they are parked close together and something wider would be useful. its not killing me to mostly use 28mm i'm not going to use an external finder... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
