Thanks Jim.

The Voightlander ultra-wides are not made for use on an SLR body. You would
have to use them with a mirror lock-up only, and with an auxiliary
viewfinder just as on the rangefinder (and rangefinder-less) Voightlander
bodies. If you want to shoot the ultra-wides, you can buy the Bessa L and
the wide lens for about what an Olympus 18/3.5 sells for... it won't be TTL,
but on the other hand it will be *significantly* wider!
