Amateur Photographer in the UK has tested this lens and I thought some of
you may be interested in a snip from the verdict.

"The Voigtlander 12mm is a truly excellent lens that features outstanding
optical quality that closely rivals, if not exceeds, the quality of the more
expensive Leica brand"

There is a three page article containing quite a bit of detail regarding the
build and optical quality, the depth of field, the sharpness and the
vignetting that can occur.

The test scores were:

Optical quality:           28/30
Ease of use:              27/30
Construction quality:  19/20
Value for money:        18/20

92% test score.
