Ashwin, I found my dream set up with the GXR. CV15, Perar 35mm, Sonnar ZM 50mm, and Elmar C 90. The ultimate compact M system (think digital Leica CL). The Sonnar is a dream lens on the GXR with wonderful rendering, perfect size and weight. The faster and heavier lenses, Summicron 28mm, asph Summiluxes 35 and 50, Apo Summicron 90mm I prefer to use on the M9Thanks to you all, Matt, Rayyan, jtwloh, and David....

Retow: I really like what you're doing with this lens and in the pp. :salute:So many great shots in this thread, I enjoy coming here to get inspired:thumbs:
A few with GXR and CV15mm.
:thumbs:Matt, great shots and wonderful colors. I'm really impressed how the 15mm performs and renders on the NEX5N (had the NEX5), there seem to be no corner performance or color issues or did you have to do some PP. Seems that the CV15 is a no brainer for NEX5N and GXR m-shooters. It's wonderful on the GXR. Ashwin better hurries before CV15 prices will go up.Here's a few with the Sony Nex-5N and the CV 15mm f/4.5. Ashwin - it was delivered yesterday.

Retow/Carl: Good questions. The original files are still on my laptop. I'll look at them tomorrow. I don't recall doing anything extraordinary in pp or having issues with color, color shift, or corner smearing (doesn't mean it wasn't there!). It is a great combo with the 5N. What you see is what you get. I'll get back to you on this. I'm probably not going to like it as well on the M9 because I don't have any accessory viewfinder and guess at the framing.Matt,
At the resolution presented, this looks like a great body/lens combination!
Is that a slight color shift at the top corners of the under-the-bridge shot?
Also, are you getting any corner smearing (pixel peeping)?
Finally, have you done a side-by-side comparison with the Sony 16mm for sharpness & contrast across the image?
Thanks, Alan
Carl: Lovely framing, detail, color and contrast. The second one's my favorite. I like the light and shadow. :thumbup:GXR with Sonnar 50.
The answer is: Two. The Summilux 50 asph for its perfect rendering across the frame at all apertures, can't fault this one, and the compact Sonnar, for it's more dreamy look fully open and sharp, contrasty and colorfull Zeiss rendering stopped down. I will list my Titanium Summilux 50 in the b&s section soon.
This shot taken from below the bridge gives a very unusual perspective. Captivating.Here's a few with the Sony Nex-5N and the CV 15mm f/4.5. Ashwin - it was delivered yesterday.

Chuck: These are awesome! :thumbup:These are a bit different in construction. Shot with a GH2, with a 53 year old Leica 90, mounted to a new macro tube I designed. These are the first two images ever shot using my "Charlie Tube™" :ROTFL:
Ashwin, this is a fantastic image. You positively got everything in this one just right. :thumbs:GXR and BW high ISO caps (mainly ISO 1250 and above)....
Ashwin: +1! This one is very good :salute:Ashwin, this is a fantastic image. You positively got everything in this one just right. :thumbs:
