What do you think about this? - goran h - 06-21-2014 Again! What do you think about this? - Klaus - 06-22-2014 Soft on the upper left side ? What do you think about this? - goran h - 06-22-2014 Yes, very soft (but it is not so easy to see that on this downsized image). It is the Pana-Leica 15/1.7. I have bought 3 decentred Pana lenses (new) the two last years - 20/1.7 (just a little bit soft in one corner), 45-150 severe decentring, and this one (severe decentring). I sent them (the first two) back and had to wait almost two months to get them "repaired" (but I got new samples). Now I have to send this one back and wait two months again -really tired of this. It is like a joke - they use the Leica brand and have no QC. Göran What do you think about this? - Klaus - 06-22-2014 Maybe stick to Olympus ... not perfect but the best of the mirrorless gang IMHO. What do you think about this? - frank - 06-22-2014 Sorry to know this.

What do you think about this? - joachim - 06-23-2014 Quote:Fujifilm? Don't ask Klaus about centering quality of Fuji lenses. He might get a fit I haven't seen many posts from you for a while (nice to see you back). Klaus discussed a long line of centering issues with Fuji lenses. J. What do you think about this? - Guest - 06-24-2014 Having read a lot of threads; it seems like olympus (while far from perfect) wins the quality department for lenses (there has been a bit of sample variation in the 12mm lens; but generally the comments on the other lenses 12-40; 75; ... have been fairly positive. Fuji I see lots of complaints (bad motors, decentered, cluth (zoom lenses), ...); while from the complaitns I've seen it seems like Klaus has a higher hit rate for duds; I've been surprise at the number of complaitns I've seen with 55-200 and 18-55 dying after a year (motor issues). This doesn't mean there are a huger number of deaths but conversely these are not being used by photo journalists or similar where they get daily hard knocks. - Mind you all companies have lenses that fail or duds; so I'm mostly just mentioning those things that seem like a pattern. What do you think about this? - goran h - 06-27-2014 Just played a little with the 15/1.7. before I returned it (for "repair"). Seems to be a real good lens - great contrast, nice bokeh, pretty good at f2 and sharp from f4 and of course very good BQ. Small and good - the smaller the better! (or what do you think Klaus?) There is also a rewiew and comparation with Oly 17/1.8 at cameralabs.com Would be nice to see a review here in the near future. Göran What do you think about this? - Klaus - 07-20-2014 Well, the it turns out that the IS in the recently reviewed Canon 16-35mm f/4 USM L IS is defective. Thus ... all sucks really. |
