Like under 3400USD? (that's been the "attractive price" prior to M10)
OK here we go with the CV 21/4 WO on M9. No editing in LR at all. Shot RAW exported as JPEG.
One has the Elmarit 21/2.8 pre-asph profile, auto-detected from the LTM to M adapter which I coded with at sharpie.
You can find the fulls on flickr, I'm not sure if the edges/corners are sharper, or if there is new noise after such a big change. Now you might ask, OK that's F/4, but what about F/8:
These are actually perfect conditions to show colorcast in my experience, as the cloud layer will pick things up. But compare to the A7.mod shot a few posts up. I think it is more extreme, no?
I'd love to see the same test on a 240 and M10 with this lens.
BTW focus infinity, all shots. I was surprised to see so much vignette at f/8.
What is fun about this lens (I have SEM 21 also), you can just put it on and forget the viewfinder.....ANY viewfinder, and at 115 grams it's as light as the camera gets. Here is zoned at f/4 with little care, and I held it well away from my body and snapped one:
Technically the lens is better than this, centrally it's quite sharp, but I still like the shot. So the CV 21/4 you can shoot literally from the hip with M. Somebody with more practice would get a good hit rate too
Nico is the real expert with it, and he get's fantastic architecture images, I think mostly at f/11.
