15CV, Cyan Fringing, Milich Adapter Question

[photolandscape]

Advertisement (gone after registration)

As the title suggests, I have a 15mm CV, a Milich adapter (properly coded), and until recently had eliminated the cyan fringing from my shots. Lately it seems to have reappeared. What could be the cause of it? What focal length setting should I be selecting on the menu when I mount the lens--I can't recall what I selected recently, but if I chose the wrong setting, could that be the cause? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Probably the 16mm setting provides the best compensation, but you could test it simply by shooting a white wall at all three settings and compare. Less compensation will be required for longer focal lengths, so the answer to your question is yes.

If you're using a Leica filter, I find that the 21mm WATE setting gives the best results under sunlight. I get too much magenta (overcorrection) with the 16mm setting.

 

I don't know if they if they fine-tuned the cyan correction in the new firmware. I haven't tested the CV15 with the new firmware.

Very nice pictures: Peru October 2007!

 

Frankly: I don't see the problem. Please point out a picture where you see the cyan reappear.
