The 15mm is a "how did you do that" lens. Maybe, but for the kind of work I do - virtual reality imaging - the full-frame fisheye 16mm is streets ahead in usefulness. Reason? You only need to take 6 shots to cover a 360- degree scene, whereas the 15mm requires 12. Also, the 16mm is 1/3 the weight, size & cost of the 15mm ! >after a while you become tired of the 16mm full frame >curved look. If you are creating digital images, then there exists software now - a set of Photoshop plug-ins - which allow you to correct out the barrel distortion.
