I mentioned previously that I'm sending my M10 for a warranty claim to adjust the light meter - it seems to be overexposing by about 1-2 stops.
I've had this camera for over a year, and during the early months I was also messing about with a Black Pro-Mist filter. I noticed from the beginning that the was over-exposing but I assumed the filter was causing it. However, for most of this year I put the filter aside and have been using my lenses without anything attached.
What I didn't realise this whole time is that the camera continued to over-expose and I kept compensating by under-exposing. I didn't even realise what I was doing due to muscle memory.
Anyway, as of this weekend I've double packed it in two boxes with foam and those peanut foam pieces in between. I was about to call the courier to pick it up but had another thought.
You may have noticed that the lens name that shows up under every M10 photo I post us the Leica 28mm, however I shoot with the Voigtlander 50mm f/1.2 most of the time. I set the lens setting in the menu as the 28mm because I found that on the setting for the Noctilux or 50mm summilux, I'm getting strong vignetting. When I first got the camers, I experimented with different lens menu settings to see which handled the vignetting the best and it was the 28mm setting.
Questions:
Has anybody experienced vignetting with Voigtlander lenses when using them wide open?
Has anyone intentionally set a completely different lens in the menu to compensate one way or another?
Could this possibly be the reason why the light meter seems to be over-compensating?
I thought I'd ask, before I break open that finely packed M10 in the double packaging.
