I have the 4.5/15 mm Voigtländer and it is very good indeed. It vignettes noticeably but not annoyingly. A Voigtländer Bessa-L and the 15 mm is not that expensive, either. And no weird colours - just good saturation on mine. All the best! Raimo Personal photography homepage at http://www.uusikaupunki.fi/~raikorho
