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.
