The 1.5X crop bodies would probably be OK but I'll bet full frame  
would be a big problem. I'll bet this is the biggest challenge Leica  
is having in making a full frame rangefinder. I would like to see  
some photos using the CV 15mm on an F2 though. I think that except  
for the circular fisheyes, the 2.1cm f4 Nikkor was the widest non- 
retrofocus lens Nikon had.

So I think Chris should get it. I'll even loan him a F2 if he doesn't  
have one.
