Comments about Voigtlander Voigtlander Viewfinder f/ 15mm Black:

Used it on the Leica M9 with the Voigtlander Super Wide 15/4.5II. The viewfinder was very very difficult to slide into the M9's hotshoe. Others have reported this issue too. There is no sight line and it's difficult to get accurate framing. The front glass of the viewfinder also protrudes out and it's easy to get it dirty (and probably damaged too). It does not come with a protective casing or pouch of any sort. If you can afford it, I'd invest on a better viewfinder.

Comments about Voigtlander Voigtlander Viewfinder f/ 15mm Black:

There's not much to tell, really. I bought the Voigtlaender 15mm lens, and this is the perfect accessory for it. Rather than guessing the field of view (which, I suppose, one can do after many, many shots using this nice device), you can see what you (approximately) get.

I use mine in combination with a Bessa R3M, which has framelines for 40, 50, 75 and 90 mm. I leave the viewfinder in the flash socket even when I have another lens on the camera, so that I can easily and quickly see how the scene would look if I were to change to the 15mm.
