I'm not so sure. I haven't used the CV15mm but I've done extensively 
with the CV12mm -M7- and an Hologon with the Contax G2. Both have the 
issues an extreme wide has, severe vignetting and corners softness,  but 
-just my opinion- in corners and borders the Hologon has the edge. I use 
the Hologon with the degradation filter and this improves the image 
quality while I couldn't fit a similar device in my Heliar and this is 
really a disadvantage. May be under some circumstances the CV can be 
better -I repeat it is not my experience- bu so much as *put to shame* I 
wouldn't dare to say this.

Felix.
