voigtlander 35mm f/2.5 color skopar on nx200

I did have to attack my sensor box with a dremel to make it fit, so not a lens for the uncommitted.

It fits on very well now though and feels great. with a m39 adapter

a couple of shots from this morning on its first outing

There is the a slight colour issue the left side has a strong purple cast, this i think is actually an issue with the the nx200 rather than the lens, i think its fixed in the nx210 and the nx100 doesnt show it.

Its an easy fix in lightroom, as the shots showing it are rejects i havent posted them , but i have uploaded a unfixed and a fixed copy onto my gallery if anyone is interested.

Do you Adobe Flatfield to fix the cast?

The Samsung 20 MP sensor has the same issue with color casts as Sony 24 MP.  It makes the Samyang 8mm fisheye annoying as well.  I guess I can't comment on NX210, but definitely present on my NX20.

Shots look nice, and that is a good looking lens.  Nice job.

i generally only shoot b&w these days. so the colour issue isnt an issue , so to speak.

But a lightroom grad filter with colour temp adjustment fixes it in 5 secs. so although it seems like an problem its not.

Look into Adobe's Flat Field plugin, you take a shot of a white sheet of paper then I think you can use it to correct it automatically (basically make a profile for that camera/lens, might have to convert to DNG though).

The grad filter is a good idea too
