Voigtlander VM COLOR-SKOPAR 50mm F2.2

Understood, yes. No problem. The distance is the same, but there is a huge difference between the microlens array on the digital M cameras which are designed for lenses with short mount to focal plane distance and high angles of incidence, and the SL2S which is designed for telecentric lenses. That's what will drive that difference.

Agreed

Could it be an incorrect lens profile on the Leica or in the editing software creating this, rather than some manual editing?

Possible, but the Leica won’t have a profile (there are only built in profiles for Leica lenses which may or may not suit), and there won’t be a software one available yet unless the user or C-V custom made one.
 
Yes exactly, so if something was applied (accidentally?), then it may affect the rendering? All speculation - some real world users should be able to clarify. Somewhat concerning is that it seems to happen with other CV lenses.
 
Only tangentially related, but do we know anything about the use of micro lenses on the M11, given the BSI sensor should mitigate some of the problems either earlier generations of camera?

It’s an interesting topic and, notably, Fuji adopted to use micro lenses giving a (much) lower than 100% fill factor for the 50 series of GFX cameras, then reverted to the modern norm of 100% for the 100 series.

I know they are there. The exact implementation or if they are different to other digital Ms, I’m not sure.

Thanks. They just don’t get discussed much these days!

Almost all digital cameras have microlenses; even on cameras designed for and with telecentric lenses, like most mirrorless cameras, they are used to maximise light entry to the sensor wells. Losing the microlenses is one reason I don’t like monochrome converted cameras as much as cameras with dedicated monochrome sensors. They are more important than the level of discussion would indicate.

Good one. I really hope that C-V can standardise on this as a look for their lens construction. As for the photos, we’ll have to wait.

When do you anticipate them being in stock Stephen? Also, is there a detent at 0.7m or does the lens just keep focusing?

The old 5cm ltm Nikkors were the gold standard for this, I never understood why their solution to this problem isn‘t adopted on any lens with extended focus range.

I am guessing July, price not yet set. No detent on the F2.2.
 
Nice size and styling on that lens.

Do you recall what aperture (just roughly) was used for these shots?

That last image seems to be a 100% crop of the previous shot judging by the size and placement of the dust bunny. Not trying to be picky. Just to get a feel for how the lens is performing. p.s., never mind, just realized pics 2 and 4 are just enlargements of previous shots.
