I had the 15mm but I got rid of it and bought the 21 Voigtlander instead. I didn't get on with the focal length. Also, I found that it's practically impossible to use filters such as red, orange etc with it without vignetting the shot. Having seen some recent 15mm shots by Neal Friedenthal and now these, I am beginning to wonder whether I should have persevered (cue Harrumph! from SWMBO).
