Re: [Leica] Wide angle Lens Question

I would second the motion, or third it as the case may be. I tried the 19,
and as soon as I can afford the jump, I'm going to get one. It is W I D E
angle- if you point too far down, make sure your shoes are shined, 'cause
they're gonna show up! If you hold that sucker level, it is rectalinear, and
sharp as a tack from side to side. Interiors are fabulous, and if you use it
outside, and watch the the viewfinder closely, making a call on the top and
bottom framing, have the negs printed as 4x10 or 4x12 panoramics! They will
surprise you!
