[Leica] Voigtlander 12

[red735i at earthlink.net (Frank Filippone)]

Is your EOS 16mm a rectilinear lens or a semi fisheye?

I found that when you go ultra wide, the 1 mm differences are really 
important.  The 15 is pretty wide, and tiny.  The 12 is a lot
larger ( still small by other lens criteria) and uses a smaller finder.

Having said that, the 15 is a carry around lens all the time.  The 12 is 
large enough that I would be hesitant to carry it around
for fear of weight or size in the bag.

Ok...I am thinking about buying this lens.  Do those of you who have it 
like it?  From what I have read it is a very nice little lens, and I 
admit the radical POV of a 12 intrigues me.  I have a 16 for my EOS so I 
am not too interested in the VC 15, if I am going to go wide, I want 
even wider than what I already have.

Thanks for any input as to the quality/fun of this lens.  If you have 
some sample photos I'd love to see them also.
