So what's the deal with the focus shift of this lens? Is it mainly at minimum focus distance? I must admit I'm beginning to drool for this lens. I know they have entirely different signatures, but how does the focus shift of this lens compare to the ZM C 50 1.5?
You have M8/9 ?
I find no FS on my M5... I believe the later models (now currently being sold) may have this issue addressed from other threads I have read.
The Signature is more natural than dreamy I guess. I prefer this look. And the light fall off is less at the corners than the Leitz offerings, from what I have read anyway.
For me, it was a matter of most bang for my dollar. I had one opportunity to equip myself with a nice RF and lenses.. I could of gone with a Current M7 and one or two lenses, or, an older M with 4 descent lenses.. I chose the later.
