COLLECTORS NOTES
The Super Wide‑Heliar 15mm is one of Voigtländer’s most iconic ultra‑wide designs, and the M42 version is significantly less common than the Leica thread or M‑mount variants. Mint examples are highly desirable among collectors and mirrorless users seeking a premium, compact ultra‑wide with classic Voigtländer rendering.
