[Leica] Re: CV wides -- an object lesson

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

That's funny, my Minolta CLE Rokkor-M 28mm is almost permanently mounted 
on my Leica M6, a wonderful compact light lens.
 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.
