gvaliquette Posted January 10, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I know that Zeiss recommends AGAINST using the 21mm/F4.5 Biogon with the M9, but does anyone have experience with this lens on the M(240)? Are the results acceptable? Does CORNERFIX do a good job, or LIGHTROOM profiles. Thanks for your help. Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Hi gvaliquette, Take a look here M(240) and C-Biogon 21/4.5. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

sub772 Posted January 17, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 17, 2015 I have used the 21 4.5 on both the M9 and M240 with corner fix and the Adobe flat field plug in. Each is pretty easy to use. I would look up each an use whichever make sense for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted January 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 18, 2015 I had the 4.5/21 Biogon and it was a fantastic lens except for the red edge. As I mainly shot B&W it was less of a problem and the slightly dark edge easily repaired PP with minimal file damage. I bought it whilst waiting for my 1.4/21 Sumilux but when the latter lens finally arrived I couldn't part with the Biogon as it was otherwise so good (sharpness, microcontrast, lack of distortion), as well as cheap and compact. This was in my M9 days, before the M240 and Monochrom. However, I finally got the shits with the red edge - in the end any PP to repair the problem is to some extent destructive editing of the file. So I bought a 3.4/21 Super-Elmar. On close comparison of files shot with both lenses it was clear that the Leica was in every way the optically superior lens. At that stage I had no qualms selling the Biogon which I did for what I paid for it. Should I have kept it for my Monochrom? Maybe, but two 21mm lenses is enough .

Paulus Posted January 20, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 20, 2015 Traded mine for a SEM 21. IMHO a very good decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
