The multi-exposure worked out better than planned!
Tons of color all around.

I have not seen any mention of edge fall-off for the 15mm. I suspect that everyone takes care of it in Photoshop, or by burning in the center (or dodging the edges) when printing. Edge fall-off is a fact of life for extreme wide angle lenses of a generally symmetrical design.
When I used to do architectural photography, I was a great fan of Schneider's center filters for their Super Angulon view camera lenses. Has anyone tried using the center filter from the Zeiss 16mm Hologon (or any other center filter) with the Voigtlander 15mm? To carry the question a little further, can anyone comment on the relative quality Voigtlander vs the Hologon with the center filter(for those of us who think f/16 is a prefectly good effective f-stop)?

Douglas-
I haven't been able to find a center filter for sale that I know will work with my wides, those being the 15mm VC lens and the 47/8 Super Angulon on 6x9. If you know how to select the appropriate filter, please clue me in. They're just too expensive to buy the wrong one...
That said, I have decided for both lenses that with anything other than slide film, the falloff is pleasing, liveable, and manageable. I shoot mainly B+W, and compensating for falloff at the enlarger is easy. Only with slide film do I see a real problem- it just hasn't got enough latitude to handle the falloff gracefully.

I used to use the 47mm SuperAngulon f/5.6 (with center filter) which was a fantastic lens. I seem to remember that there was also a center filter for the 47mm f/8, but I suspect it is now quite rare, and only available used.
In theory, you should be able to use a single center filter designed for your widest lens on all your other lenses if you can position it at the correct distance for each lens.
Your answer seemed to indicate that the fall-off was severe enough with slide film to be a problem. Can you expand, or attach an image?
Thanks,

(sorry to take the thread in a different direction, but I think that the fall-0ff of the 15mm lens is something that isn't often mentioned, and should be for someone thinking of buying one.)

I'll sift around and see if I can find an example for you. I haven't got anything already scanned, and I more or less quit using slide film shortly after buying the 15mm, so I may not have a good example. We'll see.
I haven't seen a filter for sale that's designed for the 47mm, but I'll keep an eye out. Could be a nice thing to have.
