The Zeiss M 15/2.8 is a retrofocus design, so the vignetting is less because the angle as the light exits the rear element is less than designs where the lens protrudes further into the mount throat. It is a different design to the Leica R 15/3.5, though, which I think is what Mark was referring to.
