I've been casting about for a digital full-frame solution for my M lenses, and, for now, have decided to try a Kolari-modded A7 rather than spring for an M9. The thin filter seems to be working marvelously for legacy lens users, but I wonder if anyone has tried the CV 12mm Heliar? I can't seem to find anything in the usual places online. Thanks.

I use the latest version on a Fuji Xe-1, and it is terrific as an 18mm. No sensor issues I can see.

Thanks, Charlie. I'm specifically curious about the lens on digital full-frame with this thin sensor glass modification. I do like those Fuji bodies for adapted lenses though...

I use this lens on a A7ll with the "Lens Compensations App" fort the Vignette in B&W. I'm not a fan of the colors from the lens with the A7ll.

I recently got a A7RII and did a few test shots with my 12mm Voigtlander. No obvious color cast to my eye. Sure, there's softness in the corners, but how much of that is "smear" and how much is just the intrinsic softness of the lens? I dunno. Same experience with a few shots with my Zeiss 21mm f/4.5 C-Biogon.
