You'll love it! I don't own it but a local Leica bud has it and I've
seen its work and looked at/through it and am lusting for it.
Of course, I'm a great fancier of rectilinear W.A.s anyway. The, only
moderately well thought of, Canon 20mm f2.8 for the EOS was arguably my
most used lens with that kit. I just never get enough backlit cactus
spines in the real close foreground stretching to the sharply rendered
mountains on the horizon.
Gotta get that lens! I can, at least aspire to it whereas the 15mm
Super Elmar is out of the question, unless I can steal it! :^)
