Jim asked,  Sonny, do you know if the Voigtlander 15mm Heliar does the
magenta edges thing on the A7?

I don't, but I'll take a look this afternoon. We finish work at noon.

I just got a copy of the kit zoom that a guy was selling off RFF at a real
good price.  It is the 28-70 3.5-5.6 with anti-shake.  I'm pretty amazed by
the preliminary playing around with it.  I thought it might be a plinking
lens for bad weather, but with the auto iso, the thing has some real good
points.


BTW, there are some fish eyes showing on B&H in E mount (that would not be
full frame, I'm guessing)
