Yup I agree that it probably is bothersome even though I like a bit of vignetting, and that it doesn't really clean up enough. I think it is possibly the adaptor, though so far it hasn't given a problem with anything else. But it might just be the hood in conjunction with the adaptor so at some stage I will try to shoot again without the hood. OTOH, the A7R is tending to give slightly better results in terms of resolution with many of these lenses, because it is possible to critical focus more easily. In general I would prefer to use the Leica M Macro Elmar F4 90mm because it behaves very nicely on the A7R and is a darned sight lighter and easier to hold!
It's still there: but I will do further investigations…
Thanks - missed that. I think things would be easier to find if they dropped 'The world's first…' part of their product names…
It works OK for me, for such a tiny lens. I wouldn't look for detail in the corners though, no. I may get tired of the mush eventually, we'll see.
When such a thought is held, it works well on a M camera as well.
The lens is superb for a 10-12mm image circle though!
I'm willing to bet it's the adaptor. I had the same experience with my Voigtländer F-Adapter. I didn't see even a trace of vignetting until I used a Leica-R telephoto lens with deeply recessed rear element. Then the vignetting was very obvious. What do you see if you try the MP100 at MFD? My guess is that the vignetting will become much more pronounced, and that the hood won't affect the outcome at all...
