Thread: GF1 and Leica M lenses

Sorry, here is the link to the Summicron C 40 GF1 picture

Yes, the GF1 does not work properly with wide angles, especially with ultra wides like the Cosina/Voigtlander 15mm. It also produces corner blur with the Elmarit M 28mm (unless stopped down to f4,5 +). This has to do with the sensor's microlenses unable to focus light properly if the rear element is too close to the sensor. I use mine with 35mm and 50mm lenses without any problems but not with my wides.
regards.
