John:
Image size on film is primarily a function of how the camera's film
gate crops the image circle. All lenses will project at least
slightly beyond the actual 35mm frame - and the film gate crops the
projected image circle to the 35mm frame size, 24mm X 36mm.
You might get slightly more image on the film due to the extreme
angle of a wide-angle lens' projection past the edges of the film
gate - but it'll be a very tiny difference. And those tiny extra
edges will show vignetting anyway, so I wouldn't count on them.

And dont forget that it will put a little more image on the film than does a normal ro tele lenses. If you dont beleive me measure the distance between the frames of the ultra wide versus the one form other lenses.

There are several things to keep in mind with ultrawide lenses on rangefinder cameras:
1. Remember to focus!
2. You're looking through an auxiliary finder, so what you see isn't what you get.
3. Avoid 'full-frame-itis' - shoot a little extra around the edges of your composition, and crop later.
This image has several shortcomings, but I like its lines and patterns. I used a Leica M7, 21mm f/2.8 Elmarit-M ASPH, and Kodak 100UC print film scanned with a Nikon LS-4000ED:
