I have not specifically used the Leica PC lens although I have handled it
and it has all the expected appearance of a superb lens.   I have, in the
past, used a PC lens and found it to be very useful if you have enough work
of that specific type to justify the cost.   Whilst I have that work, there
is always a trade off between the wide angle of something like the 19mm
compared with the advantages of the 28mm PC.   For me, the buildings I
photograph are often large and in relatively tight situations so the 19mm is
more versatile with perspective being corrected in Photoshop if needed.
The 19mm is better for interiors as well.   That doesn't mean that the PC
lens isn't on my wish list though!
