Just posted some more stuff from the distagon 18f4 on our Flickr site. This time shot with Acros 100 and developed in Beutler.

Hi Phil,

Could you post some example photos from the M8 using the 18mm to show the vignetting.

Here's one taken with Leica M8 (that is = 24mm):


Note that, although this picture is take against the sun, the vignetting is quite low.
A friend of mine who bought that lens too, have no vignetting on 24x36 film !

Hi,

Cool photo... where is it taken?

This is an old hotel called "La Réserve" in Nice/France.
Actually, i was testing the flare on the Distagon. Quiet impressive isn't it?

Hi Philippe,

I am considering buying this lens to use with my Epson R-D1s. Vignetting is my main concern. I suppose we won't really know how much it vignettes on the Epson until we see photos from the Epson, but M8 photos will give us the best approximation.

Since the lens is quite long (73mm), I don't think the vignetting will be a large issue even on the R-D1s. The Distagon design has less vignetting on a digital sensor, I think.
