The 15 is fun, but very very optional.;-) B. D. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Greg J.

As Uncle Joe Stalin was fond of saying "the only way two people can keep a secret is if one of them is dead". But seriously, I want this wide of a lens primarily for those situations where depth and breadth are required to make the shot: such as close indoor confines, inside automobiles, aircraft cabins, etc..
