Which CV wide-angle?

[mtscherning]

I'm looking for something wider than 40mm for my R3a, and I guess it wouldn't be too bad to get some input from some you...

I guess my choice is between the 15/4.5 or the 21/4?

21/4 is a very nice lens. From what I read, the 15 has a steep learning curve [lots of fingers and toes in the shots 😀] and does start to "bend" the view.

OR wait for the new coupled 25

Thanks for the reply

Where can I find info on that 25mm? (Found it in Stephen's previous post (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37461))

I shoot the uncoupled 25 and love it. Coupled would be a nice addition, but even without, its the one lens "most likely to pleasantly suprise" in my kit. Scale focusing works fine, though I occassionally blow it by forgetting to refocus after changing angles.
