Great pics Phillip, I can see you shot these with the VM 35 1.7, and it's also your review of this lens that scares me away with regards to pronounced field curvature....
Are you able to explain how I can avoid that/what I should look out for? Thanks.
it was Philip's review and Helena's pics that drew me to it. I am over the moon, it is a cracking lens and I've yet to be able to find the field curvature in my shots. I'm sure it's there occasionally - it's effect is just irrelevant (or non-existent) in most of my shots (mostly over 10m and shot at between f4 and f11, though at f1.7, used close up with the VME adapter, it's also very nice)
Reason I ask is I currently own the FE 35 2.8 and VM 35 1.4 and hoping to replace both with the 1.7.
Phillip said the field curvature is a real issue when it is focused to about 1.5-4m and when the aperture is at f/1.7 or close, and that worries me because that's closeup -> environmental portrait distance, and I can see myself using it quite a bit there.....so if that's the affected zone then it's probably no use for me.....
