3 SLR lenses (the Voigtlander 12mm is available in F mount as well as LTM mount, although it requires lockable MLY, meaning F, F2 and Nikkormats only). The Sigma 12-24 is actually a pretty good performer with stellar control of distortion. -Adam On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 12:27 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi

The Voigtländer Heliar 12mm in Nikon mount is discontinued as far as I can discover. A lens that doesn't allow use of a reflex viewfinder is hardly an SLR lens, although it can be fitted to an SLR body. I have no use for Sigma products. The one in 20 that meets the product specification
