New Lens Test (P1220224)
I wanted a focal length a bit longer than my Voigtlander 17.5mm for night photography. I could have gone with the Panasonic 15mm, but I decided on the Voigtlander 15mm M mount adapted to M43. This was my first time using this adapter and lens combination and it was a very tight fit on the adapter. I also found that the distance markers on the lens are now inaccurate. Infinity focus is somewhere around 3 feet with the adapter. It looks like very close focusing is lost with the adapter, but infinity focus is what I mainly want anyway.
As for the experimenting, I took shots between f5.6 and f8 and it seemed sharpest in between, f6.7 I guess. There is noticeable softness on the left and right sides, similar to the Nokton 17.5mm. It seems fairly sharp in the center, but I have to experiment some more with the focus distance. There are the sharp starbursts that seem to be evident with all CV lenses.
More photos like this one are in my set
