I don't have the 15mm Voigtl?nder, so I cannot tell you. The widest I have 
right now is the 24mm. 
The only lens I have trouble with is the pre Asph 90mm f2, The focus shift 
makes it unusable below f5.6. And I had that lens calibrated and coded in 
Solms. Maybe it will work better on the M9. It works fine on the M6?

All the best from Paris!
