Q: 5. Does the CV 10mm cause edge discoloration on a Leica M? Thank you.

A: Ken Rockwell claims that all of the super-wide Heliars have rear nodal points located too close to the digital sensors in Leica M rangefinders. If you shoot black and white it's no problem. Film too. You can always create a custom Lightroom color profile to correct for the magenta edge discoloration if this concerns you.

Q: 8. Hi, any idea of the FOV on an a6300?

A: The A6300 is an APS-C which crop factor is 1.5 so it would be a 15mm lens. FOV well I have the SEL1635Z, SEL1018 and Vogtlander 10mm and 12mm and it is kinda like this hold your left and right hands out beside you and look straight ahead then pull them forward till you start to see them, I call it ear to ear. First this is the widest lens ever made second it will fit a Sony Full Frame camera when you can afford it (Which is less than anyone else) even if you went A7 what $400 more than the 6300. But if want wide and want to stay Sony look at the SEL1018 with AF and IS for you 15mm for me at FF 12mm clean and sharp every time a great walk around lens for a small camera and no coma when capturing the Milky Way and a zoomer also!!!!! A 15 to 27 for a APS-C the widest you can go to date! There are some fisheyes but too much Post Processing.

Q: 9. Where is this lens made?

A: I contacted Voigtlander and they confirmed that all of their lenses are manufactured in Japan by Cosina.

Q: 10. Can this lens accept filters? I assume not, but a confirmation would be nice.

A: The Voigtlander Heliar-Hyper Wide 10mm f/5.6 Aspherical Lens for Sony E does not have a filter thread, so cannot accept standard screw-in filters. Im not finding any filter holder options for the lens at this time. So, it looks as though filters could not be used with the lens.
