swamiji Posted September 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) The list is a pretty nice feature... but there are some lenses I would like to add. Either in some future update, or perhaps a future feature to create my own settings. For example, none of my Telyt lenses are in the list, and there certainly no equivalent lenses provided. Also I did not see my Elmar 65 on the list. So what lenses are missing? For me I would like to add: Telyt 1:5.6/560 Telyt 1:5/400 Telyt 1:4/200 Elmar 1:3.5/65 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knorp Posted September 16, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 16, 2009 Telyt 1:4.8/280 Summarex 1.5/85 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted September 16, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 16, 2009 Surely there's no need to code most of those lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo_Lorentzen Posted September 16, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 16, 2009 Hey, if I could convince Leica to go above and beyond expectations... Voigtlander 15mm . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted September 16, 2009 Surely there's no need to code most of those lenses. They have already have some of my lenses that are of the same generation. So why not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemeng Posted September 16, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 16, 2009 The wide-angles from the Lieca R line of lenses: 16mm Fisheye-Elmarit-R 19mm Elmarit 24mm, 28mm etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted September 16, 2009 Share #8 Posted September 16, 2009 How do you get those to work on the M? R-to-M adapter and scale-focusing - although I wouldn't bother above 24mm myself - actually, I wouldn't bother at all. As to your original list - doubt you need more than the 135 corrections, except for EXIF (which seems a minor issue for a firmware rewrite). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_reid Posted September 16, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 16, 2009 Surely there's no need to code most of those lenses. There certainly shouldn't be a need with respect to cyan drift or vignetting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_reid Posted September 16, 2009 Share #10 Posted September 16, 2009 Hey, if I could convince Leica to go above and beyond expectations... Voigtlander 15mm . Fat chance <G> Use the WATE 16 setting or Cornerfix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to your original list - doubt you need more than the 135 corrections, except for EXIF (which seems a minor issue for a firmware rewrite). Hmm... Tried that... Scale was off... The question came up for me, as I am a fairly heavy Visoflex user... I have four lenses (they are either 90 or 135) that work with my viso or mount directly (two actually work with the bellows as well), that are on the current Manual list. I tried them in both configurations (did not have my bellows with me), and got different results. I agree with your statement, but mileage will vary.

dpstjp Posted September 16, 2009 Share #12 Posted September 16, 2009 Surely there's no need to code most of those lenses. EXIF data only. You're right, no other need, so it shouldn't be a problem doing it. If they did have issues with vignetting etc it would be a different matter.

swamiji Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share #14 Posted September 16, 2009 Then I wonder why I got such different results when I used my Elmarit-m 1:2.8/135. With the Goggles and with the Visoflex, using the profile and having it off. With profile and goggles, was clearly the best. Using the Viso, had slightly different magnification, and color was off with out the profile.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean_reid Posted September 16, 2009 Share #15 Posted September 16, 2009 Hmm then the only reason to code a lens greater than 90mm is EXIF data? If you're not using external filters, you may be OK with some uncoded 50 mm lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
