I have an M6 and at this point I have only been using the less expensive Voightlander glass. On a whim I busted out the credit card and bought this and the 35 (crazy I know). The short summary is I have since sold all my Voigt glass and I couldn't be happier. The voightlander glass is excellent but the LEICA Elmarit oh man even though its one of Leica's cheaper lenses it is superb. Don't get caught up in the idea it is one of their least expensive lenses. The build quality is fantastic and you will not be disappointed with the image quality I assure you. The Elmarit is a very small lens but easy to use. I honestly can't say enough good things about it. The only downside I can see is now I want more Leica glass.

Absolutely pin sharp lens, from corner to corner. Great compact size. The only negatives are from the removable lens hood - it intrudes into the viewfinder image and it makes access to the aperture ring slightly awkward.

Excellent for landscape photography or other areas where a wide angle with a wide depth of field are required. Light weight ( but solid construction) make it ideal for a trek through the woods. Not a bargain by any means, but a decent lens that satisfies 50% of my photographic needs.

Great lens, particularly for the M8. VERY sharp. And, the size makes it (with the M8) a very easy, always-have-with-you package.
