Subject: [Leica] Your thoughts on a Voigtlander Lens

A few days ago, I sought LUG input on lenses wider than my 35 Summaron for 
use with my M2.

My thanks to anyone who chimed in on that issue.

After reading your input and surfing the net, I'm now thinking Voigtlander 
Color-Skopar 21mm f/4.0
because a 25 or 28 didn't seem wide enough.

I understand that a 21 would require a viewfinder and a 39mm thread mount to 
bayonet adapter.

What else should I know -- other than the learning curve for a wider lens 
might be a bit steep?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Gary
