More Snow

leica M9 voigtlander 15mm

We had another light covering of snow. I went out with the Leica M9 and used the Voigtlander 15mm f4.5 Super Wide Heliar exclusively.
I've now put together a Photoshop Raw preset for this lens which gets rid of the vignetting and the majority of the magenta cast.

I have decided to stick with this lens for the Leica. I've not seen anything that convinces me that the 16-18-21 Tri-Elmar will give me significantly better results.

For all its "quirks" the 15mm is a sharp lens with great colour.
Its also so small and light & gives remarkable depth of field.
