Rich, unfortunately, that is just the characteristic of the sensor itself (not the the cover glass). The best cameras to handle those would be A7RII and A7S (1st and 2nd gen).
I believe with the Phigment, you can use the in-camera color cast correction to correct it to a great extent (like with Leica camera).
Hi Hiep,
I was not suggesting that the Coverglass was causing the problem. Rather the color cast seems to be stronger with the V3 versus the V2 cover glass.
As to my Phigment Adapter, it may well do some of the adjustments. Unfortunately there are several obstacles. First, Pual has stopped manufacturing the adapters and I am not sure how much he is or is willing to now support the units. Second, Paul had made adjustments to the frmware specifically for my Minolta CLE 40mm f2 M-Rokkor lens and the adapter only recognizes the lens some of the time. It is frequently recognizing the lens as my WATE which appears to now be the default for the adapter. So, I am not sure if the adapter is working properly to try to do what it may be capable of doing. Additionally, of my 2 WA RF lenses, only my Leica M 24mm f3.8 Asph has the 6 bit coding. The adapter reads the coding, but it needs to be instructed as to which in a series of lenses is which lens. Additionally, my Zeiss 35mm f1.4 Distagon ZM lens like my Minolta CLE 40mm f2 M-Rokkor lens has no Leica 6 bit coding. That is why Paul had gone into the firmware and made some adjustments so that the adapter would recognize the lens. I am not familiar to even try to code my Zeiss lens and I am not sure if I could get my Leica 24mm lens coded into the adapter.
Perhaps I should try to contact Paul about all of this through his e-mail address, but I have not seen him on the forum now in quite some time.
