Voigtlander 21mm f1.8 Ultron

I'm loving my T + Summilux M 50mm combo, which functions like a 75mm because of the crop sensor. I also love my RX1 with its 35mm view, but the joy of manual focussing has had me looking at what would do well on the T. After thinking that the Super Elmar 21mm f/3.4 would be the one to get, my lens guy suggested that the Voigtlander 21mm f1.8 was almost as but less than 1/2 the price. I'm hunting around to find samples of the Voigtlander on crop sensor bodies, but not much luck. Many of the sites that I respect that have reviewed this glass agrees that it gives around 90% performance of the 21mm Summulix lens, but that the Super Elmar beats 'em both for overall edge sharpness.

 

Anyone on the forum tried out the Ultron on a T yet?

I just got m T...so please excuse my ignorance...but when you use the adapter and an m lens...do you get auto focus? what about auto shutter aperture?

Thanks

M - lenses (despite they are manufactured by Leitz, Zeiss, Voigtländer, Konica, Krasnogorsk or what ever you find) are never autofocused

Neither autoshuttered.
