Anyone has experience with either on a digital M? Do you HAVE TO buy a separate viewfinder to see the brightlines? If so, what are ur opinions on the Voigtlander 24mm VF?

Roger, you trust your brain for the framelines but not for the level? I find that mine works well for this too but I am not so critical; and use only 21 & 25 on the m8. (and use glasses)The brain is capable of more than we credit it for at times,
My advice is to just use the lens, and you will soon "learn" what is in the frame.

For my use the distortion is well controlled...but I do mostly street shooting and travel ....not into landscape or architecture where it would show up more. To code the lens you have to have the 28/90 frame to use the WATE coding..not sure whats requied to match the new 18mm code. My mount was changed out by zeiss and then I had DAG handle the coding and check the calibration. I have not noticed any problems when using the WATE 18mm as my 6bit code.Thanks Roger. So I gathered from ur post that the ZM18 has its distortion well controlled? Did you have to code your lens to avoid any colour shifts? Would u be kind enough to post some samples on a digital M?
Mine is temporarily coded, though I've only been able to get it to read as a 21mm, not an 18mm (a work in progress).Is your ZM18 coded? If not, any colour shift or vignet issues in RAW files?
