Comments about Voigtlander Voigtlander Super-Wide Heliar 15mm f/4.5 Aspherical Leica Screw Mount Lens with Viewfinder - Black:

If you want this for a screw mount lens, you can't beat it.
You can't! it is perfect.

You probably want the M mount, so PAY the extra, it is worth it.
Don't get this with an adapter, but the more expensive M mount if you shoot M mount,, you will be MUCH happier.

The finder this comes with is prone to be scratched, with the exposed convex lens.

In Leica it would be a hector, and so not worth buying, you would pay 10-20x for a summarit speed lens.

This lens can bring the landscape TO the viewer.

ZERO distortion., just an amazing lens,, the sort of thing that will bring Voigtlander from a dinosaur, to Zeiss worthy.

I do all my work in digital except when I need a super wide shot - then I switch to film and use this lens on my vintage Leica (c.1938)
