I thought I should repost this here as well since it really is such a revelation for those who enjoy using rangefinder and legacy wide angles on A7* bodies.
The original solution was theorised by HaruhikoT on Fred Miranda forums here: Front-End Filter Improves Corner Smearing - FM Forums :clap:
I have done none of the major R&D myself. What I have done is calculate a thinner filter and have it fabricated with AR Multicoating on both sides. This fits into a 49mm filter ring and works a treat with my 35mm ZM.
Next step is to fit a very thin o-ring inside the filter threads on the lens itself and screw the correction filter onto the front with a 49mm retaining ring.
With filter on left, without filter on right.
