The focusing is nearly academic with a super wide, I would have thought. I'd just invest in one CV adaptor anyway (I have a couple and they are very good). Never played with wider than a 20, myself. I have enough trouble managing levels with a 25. Probably need to go and serve an apprenticeship with Jim Hemenway or someone. I found the little CV 25 to be very neat and compact. Click stopped focusing, no rangefinder coupling. But it did funny things with appearing to clump the grain on b&w. Maybe a correction issue? I've got the little 2.5 35 Skopar in LTM. It works well for the price. Just bought a 2.5 50 too. It's to use on my 111c for fun. I'm guessing that a 12mm lens might not be cheap. Might as well have a good adaptor. Sometimes may be had cheaply on the Bay.

I do have some CV adaptors. I recommend investing in those. Maybe you can find a used example. Since its for the wide wides, what frames it brings up won't be relevant. Might also mean that a cheaper non-voigtlander example would be perfectly OK for that job. It's not like you couldn't afford a small focus error. ================================= Hoppy, IMO the back-focus is more critical on the short focal length lenses than the long ones. Depth of field is greater, of course, but a small focus error may mean you couldn't quite focus at infinity. I don't know how big a problem this would be on, say, a 12mm. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085 _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
