no but the reviews and comments ive seen suggest its a really fine lens , if its qualiy is anything like my 2 cosina made lenses , and im sure it is then you will enjoy thi lens emmensily , both in build quality and in optical excellence

it has the same optical formula as the unfortunately named snapshot scopar , call a "gem of a lens"

the one you mentioned is almost the same lens but a little physically larger and m mount not ltm

you can read about it here

I need to get me one of these! Although the f/4 aperture is a bit slow.

I stopped in Photo Village in NY after I dropped my wife off at JFK Airport. I decided to go a little wider and went with the 15mm Super Wide Heliar f /4.5.

It is sharp and a lot of fun to use. I need to practice using it. I wish it was a bit faster.

Manual focus is really cool. Slows you down, which is good, for me at least.

i have manually focused more in the last month than i have in the previous 10 yrs , and i too am loveing it !!

its a viceral connection with the act of taking a photograph that i forgot existed ,or perhaps never fully appreciated . anyway im having a blast with the ep-1 and cosina made lenses voigtlander lenses ,

glad you are too...

peace
