Much better than any of my Canon wides! No filter and the lens is not coded. Mirror Lake is not exactly mirroring Mt. Hood because it's partly frozen!<<< Hi Tina & Harrison, I have the VC 15mm and have used it with the M8 a number of times with excellent results. Actually you know me, I never thought about how it would work or cover the subject. It worked on the M7 so I expected it to work on the M8! Just put it on and shot. Yep not quite as wide as the full frame film camera, never the less the images were fine. The only thing I changed? I used the CV 21mm external view finder in the Hot shoe instead of the 15 and it gave me a closer frame line for the M8 cropping things a little tighter. But all in all, it worked perfectly. The bonus is . if one is in doubt they can .. "SHOOT AND LOOK!" :-) That is if they have any concern about how much coverage they're getting.. Aaaaaaahhh one of the joys of the digital M8! :-) Or any digital camera of course. :-) :-) ted
