Official: Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 III E-mount
To me above that brown spot on the left crop it's all smearing effect it's not a OOF effect. Kinda looks liking a motion blur .
I'm not so much worried about how people are testing the 15 because it has a lot of depth anyway for such a wide it's really the smearing I'm constantly seeing in these bad copies. Choppy never did any of that even if it was out of focus. I get Fred's copy this week he sold me and I'll do Big Bronco just so folks can see what to look for . But bottom line smearing is a return. Honestly you need to tell your dealers as Cosina needs to fix something because obviously some copies are good as we have seen but it's not a good ratio at all.
