Voigtländer 15mm f/4.5 M on Leica M8

Here's one handy from my gallery:

No issues with the CV 15 on my M8, other than my inability to shoot wides well.

I use the VC 15mm lens quite often on the M8. It captures so much and allows me to depict LARGE things.
I do have the 15mm and the 21mm viewfinders but mostly just don't use any at all.
I bought it used a few months ago.

The lens is very good; I use it mostly stopped down between 5.6 and 8.
Yes, I see some vignetting, except on a continuous background (clear or overcast sky) I don't see it.

I don't worry about tilting horizons, just keep the edges straight in the viewfinder (left mostly); this does give a slight falling line on the right though; too bad rangefinders don't have a line in the middle like my Yashica 6x6 has.
enjoy, even though Flickr don't allow showing the picture directly on this forum directly anymore 😕

Sorry to resurrect this "oldish" thread, I just like to say thank you for those information.
I am waiting for my Heliar 15 (and a fitting 20mm viewfinder for my M8) to be delievered. 😉

I'll just update that I still use the LTM 15 on my M8 and now usually use a filter. I have it coded as WATE.
