Has anybody tested the voigtlander 35mm 1.2 II?
Everybody talks about its character, the unique bokeh but no comments about the corners. It would be interesting to see what PCX/Proxar can do with this extreme lens.
I use the Voight 35 1.2 ver II on the A7rII with TAP and don't seem to notice problematic corners. Since you mentioned it, I'll take another look and scrutinze extreme corners more cloesly. Do you have any examples you can post ?
Thank you for your response. I had the impression that all the Leica M-mount lenses wider than 50mm have the same problem with smearing in the borders/corners. I was looking forward to buy this lens but I changed my mind after reading the above. This thread however made me reconsider trying it.
I haven't seen any samples with the A7 series. I don't know if there is any out there available in full size. Obviously you are happy with its corner performance, which is good news. But there is still a question whether it can perform even better based on what we have read in this thread, especially in small apertures.

Hello: I use this lens mostly at 1.2 and 1.4 on the A7r2 not really paying too much attention to the corners. I don't mind taking some time this coming weekend to scrutinize the corners stopped down to F8 and will let you know.
One quick test shot with the Voightlander 35 F1.2 ver II on the A7rII with the Techart Pro adapter @ F8. IMO the corners look pretty good and no need for the filter glass discussed in this forum.
Note: Due to the adapter the EXIF data displayed in this test image is not correct
