I am very interested in the 12 and 15mm voigtländer lenses.

I hope some guys have used them on a A7r or the like and this thread should show some of the real world images with them

They're pretty terrible on digital sensors, since they're not retrofocus designs - light diverges from the pupil at too great an angle to be properly picked up.

This results in heavy vignetting (same as on film) and severe colour shifts and CA (digital only).

I know, still it would be interesting to see what people can achieve with them. Also im sure the one or the other is owning this lens so this would be the thread to post images with them..

From what I've read they perform just fine on the a7S, but on the a7R and a7 you pretty much can only shoot B&W with them.

The standard and telephoto lenses have no issues on any of the a7's, and I think the 28mm is fine too, but when you go wider they cause strange color casts and flares with all but the a7S.
