PL 15mm f1.7 price

Yes, just like the Nocticron 42.5mm, the aperture ring only works on Panasonic mft bodies.

The Voigtlander lens have real manual aperture rings and work with all MFT cameras.

woo. thank you! had a chance to get my hands on one to try. The aperture ring has a really nice 'mechanical' feel to it when clicking it..very nice.

That's strange, Cathay quoted me 661 exclude gst

Get back to Cathay with the lower quote?

Pretty the norm for even the same shop to charge diff customers different prices. I wouldn't bother if it's a small difference though.

I thought only dslrs have back focusing issues due to the mirror?

after taking a few thousand shots with the 15/1.7. the image rendering is definitely much better than the 17.5/1.8

BUT as a FL I still prefer the 35mm equivalent.

So as a summary.. a TIE..
1) i like the rendering of the 15mm over the 17.5 (especially at wide open) and the starlight is a added bonus
2) for the shots i have taken. I very much preferred the 17.5's composition and it just included just the ride amount of background

Now if only Pana/oly can product a 35mm FL with image quality like the 42.5/1.2....

If Pana does that, it's going to be something akin to a Summilux confirm market changing. That said I'm happy with my 17/1.8.

Thinking of buying Olympus EM10 with Leica 15mm. Can anyone confirm that JPEG works fine with the em10 doing necessary corrections for CA, sharpening and distortion correction? Does the IBIS work straight out with it or need to configure the focal length. Thanks.
