How stupid would I be to get an M8...

Some CV 12mm and M8 test images attached. See what you think.

Dave,
I suppose they look OK however would issues, if they exist on the M8, show up more on color shots as opposed to B&W? (Fringing, flare (appealing to some for B&W but not so much on color), etc). This is one of my favorite lenses on my R-D1s so I hope it continues to serve on my M8- if not I will start using my CV 15mm that is next to useless due to vignettieng on the R-D1s but to a far less degree on the M8.

Time will tell.

Your "Looking Down on Hong Kong" set taken with the 12mm, have very little vignetting even with the RD1. The 15mm is a greater vignetting offender as my RD1 can attest to also. But I have seen some VC 15mm on Flkr(?) somewhere that looked OK. You know, now that I think about it I haven't noticed the dreaded cyan vignetting issue with the M8 and the VC symmetrical lenses. They should be the worst in that regard
