cv 21/4 ltm landscapes on M8

[ampguy]

used with standard hood, no filters or coding or editing. There is some vignetting, and some hood and flare and veiling flare when shooting towards the sun.

But overall, it's a great 21mm lens for the price, about $100 more, than a 21mm CV finder alone - this 21 finder is needed for me with the CV 15/4.5 on the M8 (plus an ltm to m adapter, if needed)

Framing was used without finder, just whole M8 vf area. Mostly at f5.6 and f8.

All out of camera jpgs. if b/w, then settings were for b/w. All settings on "standard"

For me, it's a very usable compact 21mm with good sharpness, medium flare handling, a slow lens, but fine for bright outdoors or post sunset with a tripod.

You're getting some really nice images out of that lens, I'm using it right now on vacation and I invested in the LH-1 square hood for it. Doesn't look like you have much flaring problems but I wanted to be sure.

only flare so far is really when shooting into the sun, even with mostly harsh light in this set. Though I'm sure the LH-1 would be a good addition.
