Late last year I purchased a Sigma 14mm in c/y mount. It is a nice WA but quite large and only effectively a 22mm on my 40D. Recently I stumbled on a review of the Voightlander 15mm f4.5 rangefinder lens and it was really quite impressive. So I bid on a used one packaged with Bessa L. $300 later here it is. Presented to you by the now retired General Lando Calrissian of the Rebel force. Lando is wearing a lovely old west gunfighters outfit today accented with a faux chrome belt buckle.

Here is a size comparison with Bessa/15mm and Contax RX/14mm Siggy. The bessa is maybe half a kilo, the Contax and Siggy almost 3 kilos  The price is the really amazing part. I will shoot some color rolls (something I don't do anymore). That way I can have the lab do scans for me and post here sooner.
