tashley Posted June 19, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just a little cautionary example here... I have (as do many people) a CV15 with a 39mm IR filter wedged into the shade for use on my M8, where it does a great job. But as a result of the need to wedge the filter in pretty firmly, removing it is non-trivial so I didn't bother when I used the lens for a couple of rolls on my MP recently. Anyone but stupid me would have anticipated the result... and the resulting wasted shots, though some of them are kind of cool if not what I wanted. Here's a typical example: Welcome, dear visitor!

Fantastic John, then I can just switch between film and digital bodies at will. Did you get the filter I sent you for mounting last week?

Cindy Flood Posted June 19, 2007 Share #7 Posted June 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wow, Tim, mine does not vignette like that. I am easily able to fix my vignette when I scan or in lightroom. Maybe I have my filter pushed back in the lens hood further. In any case, I will be waiting for John's adapter so that I can just remove the filter when I want to use this lens on my M3 or M5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlm Posted June 19, 2007 Share #10 Posted June 19, 2007 Tim: it shipped back to you on the 12th the 15mm adapter will take the same 39mm filter complete, no dis-assembly required. jm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy, how DID you do that? You had the filter on, crammed into the hood, right? Any recall of aperture? I am jealous and quite possibly even more stupid than I thought! Best Tim ps nice shot!

DaveEP Posted June 19, 2007 Share #12 Posted June 19, 2007 Any idea of cost and time scale? Assuming it's rational - please put me down for one - I can PayPal as soon as you have info. Hopefully you got my LT-M8 order and payment - perhaps you could ship both together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep an eye out for it for the next few days and maybe ask for a tracking number if it fails to show! Best T Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Flood Posted June 19, 2007 Share #14 Posted June 19, 2007 Cindy, how DID you do that? You had the filter on, crammed into the hood, right? Any recall of aperture?I am jealous and quite possibly even more stupid than I thought! Best Tim ps nice shot! Thanks Tim, I shot it at f/8 with my M3 and the CV 15mm. I was shooting BW400CN. I had the film developed at Walgreens and then I scanned it on a Scan Dual IV with VueScan. I put my filter into the hood with packing tape cut into strips and about as wide as the filter. It fits in tight. The filter is pushed down below the edge of the two long hood "wings", but I did not hit the front element. I had slight vignette on my negatives, but I corrected that with my scan. You probably could correct the amount that I had in photoshop or lightroom, also. I only had slight vignette in the corners, not the dark circle that your shot produced.

Cindy Thanks Cindy - I think that til JLM's new device is in production I'll try to ram the filter a little further back. I think it's more that than the apertures I used, because they were pretty much all at or around f5.6. best T Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveB Posted June 19, 2007 Share #16 Posted June 19, 2007 I use the CV15 and B&W 093 filter. It's crammed in the hood with rubber bands and surgical tape. No PP vignetting correction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Flood Posted June 19, 2007 Share #17 Posted June 19, 2007 DaveB, That is a beautiful shot. Do you just set the CV15mm on infinity to focus with that filter? Do you have to do anything unusual when you meter? What film do you use or was this with the M8? Wow! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted June 19, 2007 Share #19 Posted June 19, 2007 Tim: Emmet Gowin made tons o' LF pictures with vignetting like that - just call it "art"! John M.: I need one of your codable LTM-M adapters, and perhaps the filter holder as well. Can you give me full particulars since I seem to have missed the forum threads on the subject - email, snail-mail, payment regime, price, which frameline keying to match the WATE to use Leica's corrections.
