In fact now with the Heliar I'm a an excessively w i d e - a n g l e man!!! But I share some of the sympathy with the guy who said they were really interested in the non-Leitz focal lengths, so the 15mm is very useful. The others I will wait to see how tempting they become. 35mm is my favourite focal length so I too will be interested in the 35/1.7 but I will be surprised if the Voigtlander lens betters the Summilux I have. where it will certainly score is in the economy stakes. for those of us who already have a Leica 35mm lens it will be an additional treat to buy it!
