Realizing a truly wide perspective, the Super Wide-Heliar 15mm f/4.5 Aspherical III Lens from Voigtlander features an updated design that is enhanced for use on mirrorless digital cameras as well as classic M-mount rangefinder film cameras. The 11-elements-in-9-groups optical design incorporates one rear aspherical element to control chromatic aberrations and minimize distortion, and also helps to produce consistent peripheral illumination void of color fringing. The manual focus design affords a minimum focusing distance of 1.6', which pairs with the wide depth of field for sharp imaging from near to far. Rounding out this versatile, super-wide optic is an integrated lens hood to reduce lens flare and ghosting, rounded 10-blade diaphragm, and the ability to accept 58mm screw-in filters.

Sharp as a tack
This lens exceeds my expectations for a super wide angle lens.
Very Impressed
I am blown away by this lens. I tried the Leica Tri Elmer (WATE) but ended up committing to the Leica SE 21. This left me looking for a Super-Wide Lens to complete my set. I had relative reservations about the Voigtlander 15mm but it is simply extraordinary. It may flair a little under the right (or wrong) conditions, and it may also have a little bit of a personality but, well used, it is exceptional. Super wide shooting is not for everyone, and it really is a photographer tool to understand and use. Take a moment to understand this lens and it is a joy. note: the lake house shot with all the distortions and flairs is a 10-second shot with ND Filters etc. It is technically all over the place and should be discarded within the rest of the photos from that day, but I love it because it shows the darker side of this lens under extreme conditions) Leveled it has very little distortion, I happen to like Wide angle distorion
