I have owned both the Voigtlander Super Heliar 15mm f/4.5 Ver II and the Voigtlander Color Skopar 21mm f/4 Leica mount lenses since my first NEX 5N. This is my history.
Nex 5N -excellent
Nex 6 - excellent
Nex 7 - fair
A7S - poor
A7R - worse than poor (aurora borealis)
A7R with Kolari Modification - I didn\'t think it could get worse but it did!
Surprise!
A7RII - excellent
These lenses were on my \"must sell\" shelf. I had read so much negative information regarding Leica wide angle lenses on the A7RII that I was not even going to put them on the camera but about midnight last night I put one on and looked at a white computer screen fully expecting the northern light show but nothing but vignetting appeared.
I got up this morning and took a couple of shots off the front deck, adjusted the vignetting in Lightroom and decided these lenses were welcomed back into the land of the living.
thanks - was thinking about throwing out the a7r and the whole lot over not being able to use rangefinder lens. Maybe just the non rangefinder lens and the 35/2.8, voigt 15 v2 and 24-70 might do for hiking.
two questions:
1) when you adjusted the picture in lightroom - it was not adjusted with a colour profile?
2) are these focussed at or near infinity - the problem exists near infinity much more than close
