Now I understand your question.....

Good point.... is "no vignetting"  really optical correction or digital via
M8 digital correction?

Very insightful.......And Leica was a bit vague..... or maybe purposefully
vague.

well frank the m9 is not out, and all i want to do is understand what leica
says

"...The fundamental parameters of vignetting and distortion traditionally
encountered in super-wide-angle lenses have been effectively corrected in
the case of the LEICA SUPER-ELMAR-M 18 mm f/ 3.8 ASPH., so that they play no
role at all in practice. This results in extremely sharp, crystal-clear and
uniformly exposed images from corner to corner. Due to the outstanding
contrast and reproduction of details, the initial aperture of 3.8 can be
used without any limitations."

are they talking about using this lens on the m8 (1.3x) or the m 6/7/p/9
