And the close focusing capabilities at 0.5m are a cool addition to the Distagon 18's already bad RF limited close focus magnification ratio.

Are you happy with the lens? How about landscape and green scenery? Leica is usually somehow warmer in rendering resulting in more vivid landscape photos. And last but not least, is there any ghosting or veiling flare? Color Skopar 21mm quite suffers from both types of flare resulting in ruined photos when veiling flate appears directly on persons face for example.😅

Your additional comments are highly appreciated.

Welcome to the Forum.

Sorry, but the language used on the International side of the Forum is English. 

Here is a translation. 
 

After trying a lot of great angles (on the M11) I finally bought a Vogtlander 21mm F1.8 these defects? A slight distortion a little heavy and voluminous, not easy to find here (south of France) these qualities? Opening, used price, super solid, lens well protected everything else.
