pazonada Posted September 16, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I put this on my site because I am not familiar enough with posting pictures here. Anyway, someone asked about the performance of the VC 25/4 coded and non coded. here is a link to a quick and dirty test. The shots are of my ceiling which is not evenly lit and my blue walls cast a color on the left side of the picture. In spite of all this you can see the difference the lens recognition makes with this lens. I think you get the best idea from looking at the right side of the frame. I coded mine as a 24/2.8, If anyone has coded this lens differently I would appreciate a post similar (or better) post. It's this link right here, sorry it just shows up that way. I'm not selling anything. Equipment For Sale Thanks Hope this is helpful DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I filled in the screw head (Prior to this post) with the "Brilliant Silver" car touch up paint for my benz, but the M8 STILL will not recognize the 25mm lens. I will now try white paint based on your advice, I hope it works! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazonada Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted September 17, 2007 I read somewhere else today that the white paint over part of the screw did the trick for someone else too. DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us who can afford $5000 for a hobby camera (I am an amateur) don't drive Kia's. My wife and myself are both physicians. A great observation ! LOL!

jaapv Posted September 17, 2007 Share #7 Posted September 17, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just a tip - I noticed green concentric banding in your testshots. That usually indicates that you do the DNG conversion in 8 bits, C1 16 bits will eliminate the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlancasterd Posted September 17, 2007 Share #8 Posted September 17, 2007 If you click on the photos a larger version pops up. Thanks David It does seem that getting the bayonet mount of the CV 25/4 coded by John Milich is the way to go. Must see about finding the cash to get one from Robert White - the last time I 'earmarked' funds for one the money had to be diverted for a new brake servo for my Fabia TDi... At least the brakes now only work when *I* want them to - having them come on by themselves whilst negotiating some of narrow/winding roads around here was very disconcerting...

I didn't realize you could set the TIFFs to 16 bits. DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
