flyfisherfred Posted September 17, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has anyone a definitive answer as to the safety of using this lens on M9? Kelby says OK but several people have told me I would risk damaging the sensor. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_b Posted September 17, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2017 It is absolutly no problem to use the lens with a M9. You can find some pictures here: https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/232333-berge-berge-berge-sammelthread/page-26?do=findComment&comment=3348240 Best regards Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisherfred Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted September 17, 2017 Thanks, Michael, Appreciate yor help. Good to see an actual image using the lens rather than an opinion only Fred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted September 17, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 17, 2017 I had terrible results using version 1 of the 15mm but the latest is good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to keep camera in box and let the sensor degrade gracefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_b Posted September 18, 2017 Share #6 Posted September 18, 2017 I had terrible results using version 1 of the 15mm but the latest is good!I have the first version and never had any problems with it. But as I have read the image quality from lens to lens can vary. The big advantage of the first version is, that it is small and light.

Robert M Poole Posted September 21, 2017 Share #7 Posted September 21, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does the first version not have a problem with colour fringing and isn't RF coupled? www.robertpoolephotography.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 21, 2017 Share #8 Posted September 21, 2017 The CV 15/4.5 Version 2 (M mount - RF coupled), which I have, is perfectly usable on the M9. I found the best 6 bit setting was not the 21/2.8 which most recommended but the 28/2 pre-asph. There is still a bit of Italian flag but very easy to set up a template to get rid of that on Capture One, where that also gets rid of what mild vignetting is left after the in camera correction. I found it was considerably worse on the CMOS sensor of the M240, to the extent I gave up and bought a Leica 18mm SEM, when I got offered an ex-display one at 25% off. The 18 SEM as you would expect is a whole different bouilloire de poisson to the CV15. I have not actually tried the CV on the SL but I would guess the results would be similar to the M240. I put the CV15 on Fleabay at £200 but had no takers. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is corner/edge sharpness but it is perfectly usable for A4 (maybe A3) print size. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Poole Posted September 21, 2017 Share #10 Posted September 21, 2017 Can't believe you didn't sell it at £200, I'm after one a the moment www.robertpoolephotography.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
