scott kirkpatrick Posted May 8, 2007 Share #21 Posted May 8, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Scott the set button is used to confirm as with other menu options. the default is 18mm I agree that is the safe procedure. After the sequence -- set focal length to 16, confirm, switch off and then on again, don't press set but just touch the shutter while it says "16" -- info and EXIF both say 18 mm, but the next time I start up, it is still offering to stay at 16. So it remembers 16 somewhere even after it got me to the default of 18. I wonder which vignetting correction it is applying, 16 or 18? My hunch is that the 18 default is being supplied by something in the "ON" routines. scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Hi scott kirkpatrick, Take a look here Voigtlander 12/5.6 Heliar. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
fjmcsu Posted May 10, 2007 Share #22 Posted May 10, 2007 I just received the 9cm adapter from J Milich & it is a nice brass piece of work.I coded it (WATE) easily with 1 black mark(enamel polish) without the white marks & it works beautifully .I have been able to set it @ 16 mm as per Sean's comments & certainly with UV/IR on without a filter there is bad red corner drift.That said with 16mm lens detection on only,the vignetting is easly taken care of in Camera Raw/Lightroom. I taped a 46mm leica UV/IR lens to the hood & there is too much vignetting from the lens.I taped the 46mm (black electrical) to the Helair lens without the lens hood & there is still a tiny bit of vignettting. I did notice that the greens in the picture were much more natural & saturated & the cyan/red drift was much improved but because of the virgnette from the lens the corners are hard to evaluate. I was going to post pic but noticed I had set the 18 mm(default setting) instead od the 16 mm so I will try again tomorrow(dusk here now).I have a 77mm adapter for the Heliar & am awaiting a 77mm B & W UV/IR filter from Popflash. Alway a challenge but I just enjoy this lens! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJW Posted May 10, 2007 Share #23 Posted May 10, 2007 For those of you following this thread and the discussion re a possible Milich adapter for the Heliar 12mm, I have sent off my 12mm to John Milich so he can try to figure out how to produce a filter holder other than the 77mm. John said he'd be looking at it next week, and I assume he will report his findings and whether there is a sensible approach after he has had some time to do so.

sean_reid Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share #24 Posted May 10, 2007 Great, thanks Alan. I've already jury-rigged an adapter. A real one should be quite doable - esp. for John who is very good at this stuff. John, You can try a 55 pretty close to the front element bulge but this lens on the M8 might need a 60. Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
