15mm/4,5 with E-39 filters

Hi there, heavy users of the 110 angle (Cumpleaños feliz, Al!).

Don't know, but somehow turns my M into a P&S, that lens...

Just putting some Gaffer's tape on the frame of the filter, it stays

pretty firm inside the inbuild sunshade, because of its ripples (two

tiny pieces of tape of 0,3x2,0 cm).

Yes, it vignettes! A lot from f6,3 on upwards, because it really has

depth of field.

But it works just fine when you include the vignette in your

composition, e.g. like in daguerrotypes.

I made sure that filter and front glass element don't get in touch by

putting a little piece of (smoking) paper in between: It did move

easily around, no danger.

For the shot with the dissimulated vig. (Zebra)there was no cloud in

blue sky, but hazy overcast. For that reason there is no reason of

using that filter in this situation, I only wanted to show the

possibility of making vig. an inherent element of a composition

(imagine this one with clearly defined clouds).

The other shot clearly shows vig. at f6,3.

The last shows a brouwn beer bootle bottom, not mounted yet in front

of my incredible filter accepting (no complaints) Super light Heliar

(In fact I love it's tinyness) Cheers: Good light!<div></div>

I always thought that green ale bottles gave more realistic skin tones when doing male portraiture on panchromatic film.
