	a lens that wide needs internal filers, anyway - angles of
	incidence are so disparate that effects on the film would
	(or at least could) be inconsistent. Probably best to use
	something inside the camera , or maybe the lens has a gel-clip
	on the rear like many ultra-wide SLR lenses do.

	I have heard that the lenses are pretty good, but the bodies
	are typical Cosina re-badges and aren't all that "rugged" or
	whatever, build quality-wise.

	the noble Voigtlander name is being dragged down into low-end
	mass-manufacture via Cosina, et al.  just my opinion, of course
