The 15mm shots are really interesting, and I am assuming that you did indeed shoot 'from the hip'- the only bad thing I can say about the 15 (and I guess it goes for any super wide-) that if you don't have the camera exactly level, there is a tendency to induce vertigo in the susceptible! Remarkable for such an inexpensive lens, and apparently sharper that some of the Russar 20 shots I've seen. I think I will definitely contact Dr. Joe, and see if I can get one this Summer! Heck, I don't even care if it says Cosina or Voightlander!
