I use the Voigtländer 15mm and 35mm (f/1.7) on my IIIf along with various
Leitz LTM lenses. The IIIf is my fun camera...I use it as much for the pure
joy of using it as anything else. I also appreciate the 35's extra speed
compared to commonly available Leitz 35mm LTMs. The Voigtländer lenses
perform quite well. OTOH my M2 (#106xxxx) has never been mated with a
non-Leica lens, though this is due as much to circumstance as intent.
