Only that you'll have to lock up the mirror and use the shoe mount viewfinder for the Voigtlaender 15mm lens. It isn't designed for use with a mirror-down SLR. Some experimenting may be needed to determine whether the adaptor affects the focusing scale.

I've considered the same arrangement for my SLR.

Dear all,

I recently had the opportunity to play with the new (well fairly)
Voigtlander range finder cameras and lenses. They are based on a Leica 39mm
screw fitting.  The lens that interested me was a 15mm super wide, for the
low price of 300UKP new.  I have seen a 39m to OM mount adapter advertised,
can anyone with optics expertise suggest any obvious flaws with this
arrangement ?

Gareth.
