Has anybody been lucky to get a copy of their 15mm Voigländer 4.5 native Sony mount? I'm a bit reluctant getting the VL M mount with an adapter, if the native Sony mount is just around the corner.

The waxing gibbous moon was rising, illuminating thin clouds and silhouetted by my friend on top of Chahar volcano in Inner Mongolia, China. Beyond the clouds you can vaguely see the milky way where the constellation Cygnus was soaring upwards. A7R2 + Laowa 15mm F2, ISO640, 30s, 2-panel panorama. 500px.com/haitongyu

Just had a day of testing with the brand-new, improved 15mm prime from Voigtländer. They call it the 'Aspherical III'. This lens is the improved version of the older 'Aspherical II', which had a lot of problems on a full-frame camera's like the A7: heavy vignetting, and lack of detail and a lot of chromatic aberration in the corners. So I was very curious about how this lens would perform. The results are absolutely positive: there is still some vignetting, but nothing that cannot be easily corrected in PS or Lightroom. But the good news is that sharpness is excellent, even in the corners of the image, and at wide open aperture (4.5), and also the colorcast problem has been solved almost entirely. Moreover, this little lens is very well built and finished and very compact. A treat on the A7, even for long walks. It can hold a filter in its thread, but the lens hood is a fixed one. The in-body stabiliation of the A7 mk II works flawlessly, although at this focal lengt that is not such a big deal. This could very well become my favorite lens for my A7 mk II

This tiny lens - and I mean really tiny: I happened to loose it more than once inside the old big DSLR bag! - turned out to be one of my favorite. It is pretty impressively sharp - especially considering the focal length - and has beautiful tonalities. This is the first version, so you cannot mount filters on it. With the possible exclusion of seascapes (if you want to use something like a ND1000, to be clear) I don't find this to be a big deal; with such a vast angle of view a polarizer would be out of the question; I don't use other filters anyway. And if you need a split-ND to recover the light in the sky you can always just shot two frames and blend the exposure (way better that a split ND for my taste, but YMMV). My only gripe is that in some occasion - my guess at some specific focusing distance - it looks like it exhibits some kind of weird "blob" of unsharpness mid-frame. I said "it looks like" because I've not yet be able to replicate the behavior on purpose, and I have a doubt that it may have been some kind of adapter-related problem. Now I bought a new ring that looks of much better quality, so time will tell. Please note that all the images in color have been processed with the Flat Field Lightroom plugin to eliminate the notorious magenta shading at the borders.
