Performance is pretty good too. That said, the CV 12, 15 and 25 are all VERY good too. These pictures I posted a while back are all with CV wides - the 12 and 15 shots have been heavily cropped at top and bottom, the width has, as far as possible, been left alone. Metering with the superwides is very difficult, so quite a bit has been recovered with processing software. http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Image1_4_edited_2 15mm http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Image16_3_edited_2 12mm http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Image14_5_edited_2 12mm http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Image4_18_edited_2 12mm http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Image3_edited_2 12mm http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Image1_1_edited_2 15mm http://gallery.leica-users.org/Yorkshire/Calderdale_Canal_Basin_Hebden_Bridge_edited_1 25mm http://gallery.leica-users.org/Yorkshire/Calderdale_Converted_Mills_edited_1 25mm http://gallery.leica-users.org/album212/Saltwick_001 15mm http://gallery.leica-users.org/album212/Whitby_Harbour 12mm http://gallery.leica-users.org/album212/Lythe_edited_1 25mm Cameras used, Italy - Bessa-R.
