Nice! Fred. You still have the CV 12 after you got the Sony 12-24?] Thanks!
I sold it when I got the 12-24...I was just contemplating buying it again (or perhaps the CV 10) and found this image I had overlooked a while back. I wondered about that too. I had no qualm about selling my 12 when I got the 12-24, but I ended up having second thoughts about the 15 since it's such a nice copy, and decided to keep it. If you have a golden copy of the CV 15/4.5 III E-mount, do not sell it. You can't get that color, sunstar, micro-contrast and flare-resistace with the 12-24/4.
The 12-24/4 really shines from 12-16mm, but I mainly use it from 12-14mm without filters. I have not seen any other lens beating it at this range.
As much as I like the 12-24, that’s exactly why I can’t consider selling my cv15. It’s a great copy with color rendering, sharp to the corners and classic voightlander sun stars.
