Very impressive, Bob! Very nice images and you make that 10 mm looks like breeze to shoot (which it is not).


Thanks! Let's see what happens when I shoot some urban landscapes!

I ended up getting this lens already yesterday too, thanks to some of those impressive shots on this thread by Bob

Very happy with it so far. Two of my first albums with A7II + Heliar-Hyper Wide 10/5.6 from Tokyo / Shinjuku & Ebisu/Daikanyama/Hiroo:

I think there could be some in-camera correction on that? Unless the pins were taped?

I asked Bastian and he tested without camera connection as well: no difference.

Maybe Voigtlander should give me a discount on my next lens! Yeah, right . . .

Yeah, they really should It was your "Swim at your own risk" shot that did it for me. Previously I had planned on waiting for the new 12mm.

They should give you a big discount on the the next lens or actually they should send you the next one for free. The question is which one ?

BTW, we have not heard much, if any negative news on this lens. Is that because they really improved their QC starting with this lens or folks just have not had the opportunity to test them for decentering issues? Or this lens is so wide with gobs of depth of field that it doesn't matter that much anymore?

Might be the latter. I have not tested for decentering or corner sharpness so far. At f/8, f/11 it's essentially point and shoot!

I have two copies of the 10mm 5.6 here now and so far couldn't find any mentionable differences.

Vielen Dank, Bastian! I am glad to hear that.

I assume that your experience with the Voigtlander 15mm III is different and not in a pleasant way , correct?

I had only tried one sample of the 15mm III (provided by the manufacturer), so I can't comment on sample variation here.

Here's a few more samples. It's amazing how wide this lens is. I couldn't believe I could capture this cloud and the water below. The top of the clouds was nearly overhead. Wish I had something in the foreground for perspective. Now I have to decide which of the two I like best and whether to go color or B&W.

Hands down the color version. Just doesn't work for me in B&W on that one

Here's a review with a link to RAW files from an A7. I'm not impressed at all with it on 24MP. My A7R would makes things look even worse.

Excellent use of this super UWA lens! Looks good to me.

I'm afraid walking into B&H next week maybe worse than sending my wife in a shoe store with a sale going on. Not sure I can walk out without one in my hand.

Those RAWs are pretty weak. Hopefully it's just a case of bad technique.

Mine arrives tomorrow, so I'll find out for myself soon.

Thank you!
But don't be fooled, this is more of a special purpose lens and finding appropriate foreground subjects isn't easy...

Because of that I am also still a little bit undecided.
I think it is best suited for (modern) architecture.
Nature: not so much.

Ah yes, I'm a very experienced user of UWA lenses (rectilinear and fisheye) and these lenses definitely need practice to get a good looking image out of - i.e., just going wide for wide's sake is usually not the greatest looking image.

Your images show you know how to use them and get great results. Definitely not for everyone.
