Raynox Wide Angle Converter

[oteonghn]

HI
I bought the Raynox Wide Angle to use with my Leica V Lux 1.
The resolution is OK. BUT the four corners are "curved" in.
In this sense, not so good.

How do I attach a print onto this message ?

i hv the original pany wide converter;

i also hv this prob, even near off centre the image is curve or distorted;

is this normal for allconverter?

i hv bought the converter to do some interior shots but now seems cant be used cos the image seems distorted...

HI
Not sure if this is a feature in Wide Angle converters.
I have an 18mm Leica and it does NOT have the corners "curved" and "darkened".
Very slight distortion.

I am looking at the Leica V Lux 1 and Leica D Lux 3?

What is your experience with V Lux 1 an how does it compare to D Lux 3.

Hi
No experience with D Lux 3.
That's the one with "new" lenses, right ?
Had decided against it because it means another set of lenses !
I currently have the M6 and the R4.
Thought of M8 but from the discussions in Leica forum, appears to be unstable with all sorts of compliants. As I needed one rather badly, decided on V lux 1

eh i think you should consider what is the purpose of getting the cam 1st... :sweat:
they both serve pretty different style of shooting

Hi
It's a question of putting my current M lenses to use in digital or not !

Hi
Thought you were referring to M8.

Was thinking of using my current M lenses on the M8 But because of
the feedback on the instability of the M8, decided on V lux 1
