I agree with the previous positive comments about the Voigtlander 15mm. The optical power seems to be very good, the build quality is nice, compact dimensions is at hand, and the value is incredible! My only reservation is the use of full-frame format, which I have not tried. I suspect that the vignetting can be a problem with some users after a graduated ND filter to my knowledge is not offered.
This is not a significant problem with the M8 1.33 format. I have a limited number of hoursShooting with the full FOV rangefinder M8. I bought from Russian found 20 millimeters accessories. Wide Packaging may spread to 21 millimeters Voigtlander would avoid the expense.
One question I have not seen discussed is the use of this lens mounted on M. The goal is not adjustable shade petals. When I used an ingredient produced in China, adapter, were the petals of about 10 degrees. Again no problem with the M8 (with no apparent vignetting), but a potential problem with the full-frame,In addition to the obvious cosmetic problem. In the editing process more real rings Leica, I could try to find only 1 in 5 that resulted in the correct orientation petal. Maybe the rings Voigtländer are online. In any case, I would suggest this is a case where you try your luck in a store full-service brick and mortar "as ordered rings over the Internet.

Great little lens for little money. – D. Fineman – L. A., CA USA
This lens is sharp as hell, easy and almost free. Other experts noted that it is cheaper than the Leica 15mm. A little '! The Leica is $ 7500 and low-contrast or sharp. In addition, you can buy a body, a Bessa L for $ 100 and have an unusual combination for interiors, buildings, or special effects. This objective is quite straightforward. And even if the researcher has no barrel distortion, the fisheye lens has no effect at all and the viewfinder is brighter than the Leica (if you3 found that the mortgage for the purchase of a Leica).
