Like Ted says (way to go, Ted!) the DOF is enormous even at full aperture. This leads me to choose subject matter and frame shots in quite a different way from my normal approach, where I'm always thinking about DOF and the potential for creamy bokeh. :-) I might've considered the 25 (or the Leica 24) if I hadn't already had a 21, but IMO rangefinder coupling is useful in the 21–25 range (and the Voigt lacks this) whereas with the 15 if you have any distance-estimating capability whatsoever you'll be okay. - -Dave-
