Christmas Day walk with the Apo-Lanthar! This is a surprisingly heavy lens, with ten elements.

I'm going to share some frankly boring compositions from this walk because I'd like to share (and illustrate) my first impressions of this lens. Firstly, as the name implies, it's incredibly well-corrected for chromatic aberration at almost every size of aperture.

I liked the light falling on the top half of this tree. High contrast scenes are no problem for this lens, and demonstrate the dynamic range of this camera. I've reduced the black relative exposure a little.

I'm impressed with the texture detail in the wear of the paint on this road. Resolving for 24 MP is well within the capabilities of this lens. I'd love to use this on an M10 (or M11) Monochrom!

Focus fall-off could be a little more gradual for my taste, but the rendering of out-of-focus areas leaves absolutely no complaints.

With such a clinical rendering, and without great light, it can be difficult to capture some mundane scenes that would benefit from a certain mood.

I haven't noticed any radial distortion, neither barrel or pincushion, and neither the M10 or Darktable are applying any corrections. Wide-open, some minor chromatic aberration can be seen in the black script on white lanterns of the shrine in the second frame.

I have red-green colour blindness, and no talent for colour photography, but I'd describe the rendering of colour as being faithful and transparent as far I remember the scenes. This lens sits nicely between some of Cosina's warmer, single-coated 'classic' Voigtländer lenses, and the colder, high-contrast 'pop' of their Zeiss lenses.
