Advertisement Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Guest guy_mancuso, Take a look here 12mm CV Heliar,J Milich adapter,LR,UV/IR filter. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest guy_mancuso Posted May 18, 2007 Share #22 Posted May 18, 2007 As many realize how wide a effective 15mm is there is always going to be a little room for cropping if not a very critical setup going , so even if the extreme corners are off having a effective 16 or 17 mm will still be awesome. For me there is a big difference between 15 or 16 to 21mm and it may not sound like a lot a 4 or 5mm difference but in practice it is a huge difference Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, then we won't need to crop out those far corners. Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted May 18, 2007 Share #24 Posted May 18, 2007 Little more worried about the cyan cast but a PS action or a Raw developer tool than we should be fine. I was just thinkng in worst case scenerio which would still be excellent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinkng in worst case scenerio which would still be excellent Hi Guy, The center is neutral so there's no cyan cast <G> but the cyan drift itself should be fixable with software. It can be tricky though because cyan drift varies in color according to lighting source, etc. You're right that the worst case scenario should be manageable but there's no reason for any hard vignetting at all with the right size filter.

Guest guy_mancuso Posted May 18, 2007 Share #26 Posted May 18, 2007 We just need to stay with standard filter size like 55 or 60 depending on what works best so we can at least obtain those sizes from Leica or B+W. Having a 58mm or a non standard size we should avoid at all costs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_reid Posted May 18, 2007 Share #27 Posted May 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) We just need to stay with standard filter size like 55 or 60 depending on what works best so we can at least obtain those sizes from Leica or B+W. Having a 58mm or a non standard size we should avoid at all costs. That's exactly what I was thinking and that's why I thought the next step after 55 would be the 60. The interesting thing with the 12 is that we don't necessarily need to stick with the Leica filters because the in-camera corrections (designed for the Leica filters) don't work for the 12 anyway. So the correction has to start from scratch in any case. Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpenate2 Posted July 6, 2007 Share #28 Posted July 6, 2007 Francisco, nicely done... I'm about to get the lens myself. Did you go out of your way to keep the view level - I worry about distortion of the horizontals with this wide of an angle. BTW, looks like Sandia Peak in Albuquerque... and maybe the Four Hills Country Club? Thx... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjmcsu Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share #29 Posted July 6, 2007 Antonio, Thanks.It was just a quick shot ,didn't even use a viewfinder.The lens is great & the price is just right.You have the Sandias correct-Tanoan Golf Course.I am awaitng the Milich 39/55mm filter/hood adapter as we speak.Then will try working with Cornerfix!

ampguy Posted June 28, 2009 Share #30 Posted June 28, 2009 Reviving this old thread. IMHO, the images taken without filter looked best. What are most 12 (and 15) M8 users using for filters, now that we have later firmware, and codable solutions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
odyocu Posted June 28, 2009 Share #31 Posted June 28, 2009 With the latest firmware, I use the 12 mm with Lens detection ON, but without a filter. I like it as the best option too. Rome, Spanish Steps, the fountain: Seyhun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampguy Posted June 28, 2009 Share #32 Posted June 28, 2009 Great photo Seyhun, that 12 sure is wide! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
etienne_werner Posted June 28, 2009 Share #33 Posted June 28, 2009 I love this lens especially for B&W without filter. This picture is from this afternoon. I know I tend to go overboard with PP if it's not work related. Kind regards, Etienne Welcome, dear visitor!

odyocu Posted June 28, 2009 Share #34 Posted June 28, 2009 Great photo Seyhun, that 12 sure is wide! Thanks. It is also very sharp in the middle 1/3-2/3 portion. I hadn't expected that when I bought it. Therefore a great lens with a nice price tag. I had a CV15mm in ther past. It used to give strong greenish corners. For some reason CV12 is nearly perfect, even without a filter. Seyhun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
