![]() ![]() Thanks for all the responses! Very useful indeed. ![]() I have an M9P, but will probably pass on the M10. Resolution and color rendition in the M9 (18 MP) and M10 (24 MP) are stunning. It is the viewfinder that I find wanting. The sensor in a digital M camera holds its own against any modern camera. The viewfinder is always 100%, regardless of the focal length, like a DSLR. Magnification is in two stages, 5x and 12x, making precise focusing easy. You also need to program a button to engage focus magnification, also automatic with Sony lenses. In order to take advantage of IBIS, you need to dial in the focal length of legacy lenses. In general, lenses 35 mm and shorter, designed for rangefinder cameras, show excessive smearing in the corners. I can't speak for the Voigtlander lenses, although the 15 mm vIII is supposed to do very well (Steve Huff Photo for examples). I would suggest one of these m2 bodies rather than the original A7, for the benefit of in-body image stabilization (IBIS), much better ergonomics, and other features. I have these lenses, as well as a Sony A7ii and A7Rii. The Summicron 50/2 also works very well, with only a trace of corner smearing. It is long enough that there is no trace of smearing in the corners. The Summicron 90/2 works better on a Sony A7 than ever on a Leica M, if only for the precise focusing. Other Leica mount lenses which worked either well or badly with the A7? ![]() Has anyone used any of this glass with the A7? Then a bunch of Voigtlander lenses including What have others' experiences been with this glass? Reading suggests that there can be problems with the wide angle lenses, but that longer lenses may be good.ĥ0/2 Summicron (my baby - one of the best lenses I have ever used) I'm travelling and don't have my bag of Leica/Voigtlander glass with me, but am looking forward to trying that soon. I have been shooting with it over the weekend using the kit zoom, and I am quite pleased with it. I never wanted to buy a Leica M digital body, because unlike the film cameras, you are not buying them forever - technology marches on, and the sensors and electronics become obsolete.īut now I've bought a Sony A7. I sold my Leica M film bodies some years ago, but kept all the glass I had, with the idea that someday I would buy a Leica digital or some other kind of body I could use them on. ![]()
