nice you got it, try MFD portraits with it (street photog) you'll get some interesting results
Yep.
The camera will focus as close as 0.7 and the lens will go down to 0.5. I'm using a Olympus VF-2 EVF to frame and focus with when in close, but even then at 15mm it doesn't seem all that close.
Just received a TTA 28 5.6 Black (!) on my M10-R. All pics apart from the VW were at 5.6 because I wanted to see it at it's 'weakest'. I think the VW was at f8. All at ISO 100 apart from the inside garage shot which was at 6400.
I think it gives a really nice look but at 5.6 smears at the edges. This seems to go away by f8. It will be interesting to see if it does this on film as well. I'll be getting that back in a few days.
I have a Summicron 28 v2 if I want 'perfect' so this does not bother me at all. Also have the CV 28 3.5 if I want almost perfect...Oh and the Orion 15 if I want similar to the TTA, but with fiddly aperture setting!
With the lens hood attached it is difficult to change the aperture as there is hardly any space in there. But I think I'm planning on using that never, because it doubles the size of the lens! Interestingly though, the style is very similar to the new CV 40 2.8, but the TTA lens scores in the haptics as the aperture ring stays put when you focus, while on the CV it irritatingly moves with focus.
