<p>The 14-24 2.8G is considered the sharpest wide zoom of all, sharper even than most prime wides. Pro Canon shooters buy adapters so they can shoot with this lens. You may want to do a proper test, and look into a fine focus adjustment for yours if needed. The Zeiss wides may possibly be a line or two sharper on lab tests (questionable though), but lack autofocus and lack zoom. Do what works best for you, but be sure the 14-24 is not up to spec before replacing.</p>

<p>I am looking at extending my lens set to super-wide. The Voigtlander 15mm lens made by Cosina looks like an interesting option (and far cheaper than Leica-made glass), and the importer describes it as a rectilinear lens, i.e. not fish-eye in its perspective. Would like to know what experience other Leica shooters have with this and other Voigtlander lenses and how you appraise their optical qualities (sharpness, contrast, color). </p>
