Joe,
The Minox film-carrying 'pint-sized' Leica IIIf copy is close.
My observations see it carries a 15mm f5.6 lens, very close in spec. to the Cosina/Voigtlander optic.
Now if the camera had an interchangeable lens mount one could dream of creating a shift lens for use on the Minox/Leica!
And the 12mm would be an even wider shift lens...

I take it you would not advocate that Leica build a new LTM body.
