Great lens for the ones who know what they are getting
By Eugene Fratkin
I have used 12mm with NEX via voigtlander adapter. Though I currently do not use the combo, this is due to the fact that I decided to part with NEX and had nothing to do with the lens.
Few things to know about the lens:
1) It has a color shift in the corners. Not as bad as Voigtlander 21mm, but still noticeable in some cases. For landscape work I generally did not need to correct for it - oddly enough in the cases where it was noticeable it contributed and not detracted from a picture. But be aware of it.
2) It has a pretty long minimal focus distance, more so than most DSLR wide angles I have used. This is a problem if you like to stick camera into someone's face (I do). This is a serious limitation and I would like for this to be fixed.
3) There is a noticeable light fall-off to the edge.
4) It is not the sharpest wide angle I have ever used.
After listing all of these limitations why am I giving it 4 stars? Because results are great.
It is a high contrast lens. Most people do not understand what that means. They will show you a resolution chart of some Tamron lens and claim that it is better than any Leica since resolution is great... Well, resolution is great, but what you perceive with your eye as sharpness is not the resolution but micro-contrast. This is where 12mm is great. I got many remarks about how sharp the images were, but they were not all that sharp - just had very good contrast.
Overall I loved the way the lens rendered color and made everything look saturated and sharp.
Mechanically lens is great - solid metal. It will be hard to switch to a consumer quality lens after handling lenses like that. They just feel 'real.'

Widest Wide
By V
If you are looking for the widest wide available for your rangefinder camera then this is it. Build quality on this lens is top notch. It is an all metal lens, with some nice heft and balance to it. I use it on my Leica MP, M9, and I've used it on my Olympus Pen EP-2. It's a sharp lens, but there is a bit of a fall off at the edges, and some slight vignetting at 5.6, but once you dial it up the vignetting go aways. Most super wides have the same issues. It's a great lens to use in architectural shots, and landscapes. This is not a fisheye lens, but gives you great depth of field all the way to infinity. You will need to keep the lens level when you shoot, just to keep the image from bowing. If you buy this lens, you will need to buy the 12mm view finder from Voigtlander as well. It really is too difficult to use this lens with out the view finder. Otherwise I'm really happy with the build quality and the performance of this lens.
