Malvolio Posted July 30, 2016 Share #21 Â Posted July 30, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think there is significant sample variation with this lens. Luckily the dealer in Australia had a number of copies on hand and he kindly let me test a few until I got a good one - a good one meaning one that didn't smear in the corners.

pico Posted July 30, 2016 Share #24 Â Posted July 30, 2016 So far I am not impressed with the 10mm M-mount version. Will try it with film next. Nonetheless it is so amazingly wide! It reminds me of the 35mm Grandagon over 6x12cm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.liam Posted July 30, 2016 Share #25 Â Posted July 30, 2016 So far I am not impressed with the 10mm M-mount version. Damn. Maybe the soon-to-be released 12 will be the charm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malvolio Posted July 31, 2016 Share #26 Â Posted July 31, 2016 Perhaps we are expecting too much from a WA lens at that price point. I'm sure they could ensure consistency if the lens cost double or triple the amount. Perhaps we are being too harsh on the lens itself - it really it quite an impressive performer for the price point.

pico Posted August 1, 2016 Share #27  Posted August 1, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wondering whether the new 10 and upcoming revised 12 will be any better. Didn't they suddenly withdraw the 10mm 'E' mount version for undisclosed QC issues?  I posted a couple images from the 10mm. The main subject, the children's play house, was 6 to 7 feet away. I owe you some better pictures.  The only correction here was in Adobe's DNG interface to Photoshop to fill the shadows, which does diminish fall-off a great deal.  ONLY Photoshop here.  Here with Photoshop 5.1 2 using Adobe's built-in lens correction for the 12mm.  Until I processed these in Photoshop I didn't realize lens-correction updated itself to include 12mm.

pico Posted August 1, 2016 Share #28  Posted August 1, 2016 Forgot - when the DNG of the 10mm image is first opened in Photoshop it looks like this before correction. Whew! Talk about clipping!   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted August 3, 2016 Share #29 Â Posted August 3, 2016 I find it interesting that nobody has noticed that even an old version of Photoshop automatically reaches to the 'net to download updates to their lens correction filter, even in version CS 5.1 2. Â So much to discover, Pico Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronazle Posted August 3, 2016 Share #30 Â Posted August 3, 2016 Voigtlander lenses: I'll focus on the positive. The old 50mm f:1.5 is quite good and sits on my M8 for "camera in the car" duty. The Heliar F: 3.5 collapsible is really great in all respects: it is the regular lens on the M9. All photos taken with the Heliar are, lens wise, superb. My other superb non-Leica lens is the 18mm Distagon F4. Regards, ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
