No, you were right the first time, Phil - it was (is) 15mm. It was originally produced from 1969 - 1972 in the Contarex Hologon Special camera, and around 1975 a few were made with the Leica M bayonet mount. It has a fixed aperture of f8 and has an angle of view of 120 degrees.

As has been mentioned, a version was later developed for the Contax G1/G2 and is still available.

Just keep this mildly on topic, it will be interesting to see if a version is made for the Contax full frame digital machine, of which I hear very little discussed on this list! (Or any other).

Regards,

Clive

Oops  - might have been 13mm and 40 years old
