So, the Seven5 Circular Polarizer didn't vignette on the L21 at all? (the one in the picture below)
Can you post a sample?
Thanks in advance.

The polarizer may vignette. I wish Lee would offer a square glass polarizer for the Seven.I tested my Loxia 21 withe the Lee Seven polarizer and the vignetting was not an issue for me.

Hi guys! I just picked up a Loxia 21mm f2.8 and so far absolutely love it! I was wondering if you guys use the Lee Filter Seven system with this lens. I am in the transition of getting rid of all my big lenses and start using smaller lenses like the Loxia.The polarizer may vignette. I wish Lee would offer a square glass polarizer for the Seven.

Yes, but it will have to wait until I get home this evening. I live in CA so it will be several hours from now.

Here is a sample shot taken with the Lee Seven circular polarizer, the same one pictured in Fred's earlier post.
This picture was not meant to be artistic or interesting...I literally walked out my front door on Sunday morning to see if it would vignette. I was happy that it didn't.

Hey guys,
I got my Loxia 21mm today from B&H Photo and the box was kinda torn on the corners and beat up. Would you guys return it? I wonder if it's a returned item given the atrocious condition of the box. I have not yet tested it for decentering but would you return/exchange it on that alone?
Thanks,
Tony

The inside was fine but the packaging looks like it took a serious beating. What do you guys think? Keep or return?

I have gotten really beat up packaging from b&h. You should definitely call in and complain because your lens could be damaged. No one wants to drop 1500 dollars for a beat up box...

I would test it before returning it. What if you got a golden copy?

Thanks Fred. Yeah I'm going to test it out tomorrow in the daylight. Any particularly good targets I should look for? There's a small lake near my work and lots of tall building all around.
I'm also going to see if I can get Zeiss to send me a new box. Maybe they'll agree to avoid a return.

The lens is very well protected in the Loxia boxes. Test it and see before return

Here is a set of completely uninteresting photos of mailboxes and my building complex taken with the Loxia 21 at f2.8. If anyone can take a look and tell me if its de-centered or not, would appreciate it. It generally looks good to me but I'm certainly not an expert on this. I will reciprocate with some more interesting images tomorrow!

I hope the Loxia 21 can withstand -35 degrees!
Can't wait to see your images.
