Found the problem i had a B+W UV filter on the lens so when i took it off it stopped vignetting... never had this problem before.

Just got my Lee Filter seven5 kit with the circular polarizer today. Had it on my Loxia 21mm f2.8 and its vignetting really badly. I can see it on screen before i even shoot. So whats the work around for this problem?It absolutely does not vignette.

Hmmm. Are these JPEG out of camera and do you have distortion on or off in camera.
If jpegs with distortion on it maybe hiding the vignette ping if off it may not but only with jpegs in camera

Okay yea it will only work without the filter on it takes space so when foundation kit is on its already away from directly in front of lens. That filter needs to come off

The photo I posted using the Lee Seven CP was shot in RAW and converted to JPEG with no additional processing in LR for posting.

I would never stack a CP on a screw in UV filter on a wide angle lens. That just feels like an invitation for vignetting.

Yeah definitely User Error on my part. This never happened with the 100mm system so i was totally unaware you shouldn't stack.

How does this lens handle astro shots? I've been considering switching from my Canon-adapted lenses to native and my Zeiss 2,8/21 ZE is by far my most used lens. Would this Loxia be a suitable replacement?

Wide open the slight field curvature will give you slightly soft edges/ corners when focused at infinity in the centre. Coma is not bad. This is a 4 image stitch:

I am not an astrophotographer but I did try a few shots recently and as you will find that infinity is not at the end-stop with this lens a slight movement back gave my perfectly focussed shots.

Still no lens profile for the L21 in C1.

I have a ZM21 and also a ZF21. I wonder if anyone compare these 2 to the Loxia 21?

Has anyone taken any astro photos with this lens? Wondering what kind of coma or other troubling aberrations that might be a problem for astro shots.

Frank,
I just got my Seven5 polarizer today. What a clever design with the rotation twist to lock it in place. It absolutely DOES NOT vignette and I'm very happy with the image quality.
I'm glad I read your post because I was assuming this filter would not would not work with the L21.
One more reason to chose the Loxia 21 vs Batis 18. You would probably have to go with the much bigger Lee classic filters for the Batis.
