Back from a fruitious trip, exclusively shot with Leica M cameras (M3 in this instance).
The 15 VC is incredibly good. If it was a Leica offering, this very same little thing would probably be selling in the 2000$. I'm no expert but I wouldn't be surprised. The worst is I would've probably paid that much for it LOL!

I like that pic ... and yes I agree if this lens had a more 'boutique' name it would be more expensive for sure! :p I have one also and I might give it an outing this Saturday night after seeing this!

As a matter of interest what's happening in that shot? :)
 
looks like a regular eastern european pig slaughter to me
except i remember we always had snow at that time:)
 
More important than the lens is the photographer skill and those pictures just show how talented is the photographer. I wouldn't know how to use a 15mm - I'm already so clumsy with a 35mm - but you do.
The first one is powerful but the second is very poetic. I would have seen in B&W though; I think the sky would have been very dramatic. Do you see the same?
 
This shot is from one of the first B&W rolls I've done with this lens, /thanks Keith, I've bought it after your HU post :) / and I must say, for what it costs it delivers more than enough.

What picturesque balkan scene. For all we know; there is a mass grave behind those bushes, there. I prefer to buy my pork vacum packed.
 
As always, I like your photos, Ned, but these might have come out just as well or
better with your 21, no ? The first one, say in portrait format, the second
a bit farther away.

The colors we're so nice, I only had Velvia with me that day.
Using the 15mm is simple if you follow the simple Foreground-background rule or if whatever subject simply calls for it, as this one did.

Thanks!
