If you have the CV 15mm,  and no more wide the TE would be a good idea 
as his quality will be for sure fine. But if you already own some other 
wide it will be redundant. I have the CV 12mm and the Leica 21mm ASPH so 
the only thing I have to do -and my M8 is just arriving- is ordering a 
CV 15mm like yours filling the gap. As you can see and I already knew 
*no problemo* with CV image quality. A previous Contax G 16mm finder for 
the CV12mm and the Leica 21mm finder for the CV 15mm will do the work as 
the full M8 finder will provide viewing for the 21mm.

Felix.
