msshea Posted February 1, 2015 Share #1 Â Posted February 1, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi All, Â I bought an R 19mm v.2 a number of years ago to use with various EOS bodies and was quite happy with it. Using it on my 240, it seems a bit soft. I haven't done an exhaustive test to determine the ideal f stop, but I usually work between f/5.6 and f/11. I can improve things a bit using Nik Output Sharpener, but sometimes I don't like the results. Considering the lens's vintage, I guess this isn't surprising. I'm wondering if anyone has experience comparing it to either the Leica or Zeiss 18mm. Â Thanks, Merrill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a911s Posted February 1, 2015 Share #2 Â Posted February 1, 2015 I've only had the Leica R 19mm V1 and the Zeiss for M 18mm. The rangefinder was better. I'm going to guess it will be better for the Leica 19mm V2 vs. Leica M 18mm shoot out as well. But I'm ready to be surprised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
