It's been impossible to keep up in recent weeks, I've simply been too busy both with work and at home. Some stunning work in this thread as usual.
I did finally get out with the M9 again, this time to try out a lens I've hardly used and that often gets a bad rap: the Voigtländer Ultron 28mm f/2. A set of test photos and pixel peeping showed the usual mentioned flaws (corner darkening wide open, unsharp corners until two-three stops down); happily no focus shift on this example that I could see.
However, that doesn't stop it from producing some lovely results, in my opinion:
The DNG files were processed in LR 4.2. No adjustments other than adding a little vignette effect and then a border treatment (with Flare). #131 was a square crop of the top 2/3 of the frame. #132 is uncropped.
Comments are always appreciated.
