Voigtlander 15mm f4.5 VM III

Recommended Posts

Thank you all once again :). I apologize if I misled anyone here; these were all taken with the ZM 15. My first post was to respond to Luigi about the lack of ZM 15 images. In hindsight, I admit it's confusing :D. So I shall recuse myself from further posting images in this thread. I have no doubt the new CV would be able to do something similar.

 

Now to the second part, I'm shooting most of these on a Sony A7s with Kolari thin filter modification. This has allowed me to learn this lens characteristics in a short amount of time (have owned only it for 7 months so far). Love M-mount optics, but can't see myself paying for the RF experience.

 

Now to answer a few questions here:

 

@terrycym: The first one was exposed at 3200 ISO, 30 sec and f/8. The third one was actually an HDR pano.

@mirekti: I find the sunlight filter in Nik Color Efex has quite a nice glow. I fixed the softened edges with a bit more aggressive sharpening in Nik Sharpener.

@bocaburger: I guess my clarification on my use of the A7s would answer your question :D. Overall, vignette and color cast are not a problem on this camera (the second picture above, I added vignette for effect).

Are there any reviews comparing MkII to MkIII ?

Although I don't doubt the new one will be an improvement, for me the MkII is more than sufficient. I use LR flat field correction that is just one click operation. 

 

Look at my album below for color issues (or rather, lack of color issues after flat field correction). I will stick to MkII (due to small form factor) till I get convinced.

If anyone is interested here is the Version 1, ltm.

 

I use it on my M8.  No corner problems, and nice to have a 20mm (equivalence) plenty wide enough for me.

These are SOOC JPG's on the M8.

 

Just aim along the flash shoe, and it focuses down to 0.3m (1').

 

Super little lens really, and only a few hungry dollars.

 

cheers  Dave S ;)

I have not tried the vIII yet but have enjoyed using the vII on my M9 despite it's flaws,vignetting and all. :)

Here's a shot taken on the Southern California Coastline.
