Does anyone have experiences with this lens coupled to the M240? Yes, I heard all about the color cast issues on the M9 and the non-rangefinder coupled issue.

 

What about on the M240 EVF2? How's the new sensor handling the image from this lens?

It has slight magenta cast on both sides when coded as 21mm Elmarit pre-asph, there is no rangefinder coupling so Liveview is very helpful at closer range.

Have you tried coding it in the Menu as WATE 16mm? Was wondering if the color cast would be more well managed.

Very few people here has this lens?
No surprise there.

 

I have recently tried M240 with above lens (at photo trade fair), camera was manually set for Elmarit 21mm pre ASPH. It is very wide and space was confined so I struggled to capture bright background into the corners to assess colour cast . Still have to look into the images in depth and try to figure out how much cast there is but I suspect there will be some (also see post #2).

 

I found lens to be reasonably compact despite being bigger than many other M mount lenses, my key objection is lack of RF coupling - I like to use my M camera the M way. If I really wanted 15/16mm FL I would be inclined to pursue WATE. Already have two slow M 21mm lenses plus R 19mm and find 21mm plenty wide. Personally I would rather go for Lux 21mm.
