Hell yeah!  Pick up a CV 21/4, I don't imagine you'll be
disappointed. 

The shade is sold separately, and while it's nicely made milled
(term?) metal and rectangular, with such a wide lens, the
protection is what it is. 

You'll need an M mount adapter,  but any generic cheapo adapter
will do (no frame line issues involved).

Anyway, the CV 21/4 along with the CV 50/1.5 are some
great lens bargains in Leica mount land, IMHO.
