I'm in almost the same boat. Here's my current leanings.

I ordered the Batis 25.
I will add the Batis 85 to my walkabout bag eventually.
I already have the FE 55 to complete that trifecta.

I will probably get rid of the Canon 16-35 (as much as that pains me) and order the Batis 18

I do own the CV 15 (M-mount version) and it's a fantastic and compact lens. I will probably keep it for now, and re-evaluate once I have my hands on the Batis 18. One option is to replace the 15 with the 10mm since the 15 and 18 are close in FL.
I would dump the CV 15 if I was keeping the 16-35, but I almost never use that anymore as I tend to use it mostly as a 16mm lens (and use the Sigma 35/1.4 for the 35 FL). So in that sense, getting rid of the 16-35 makes sense.

Apart from owning the cv15 that is basically me. I also tend to use the 35 art if I need 35 and only use the 16-35 at 16 pretty much

I think the 18 is the way to go, thanks everyone for steering me in the correct direction

Just order the Batis 18mm. Might not be the easiest answer, but it is the best answer.

And do yourself a favor and get a ND Throttle to use with your 14mm. That makes it very "filter friendly" and will make your 14mm much more useful to you.

I really should check out the throttle

Good choice!

Eddie, there is a guy on FM that is selling his. It's in the Batis 18 thread just in case you didn't want to wait.

I saw that but assumed he was in the states. I'll double check

If the Batis continues to be BOd I might grab a Voight 10 to see how I like it. If it is good my CV15v3 will go while I continue to wait for the Batis 18

Oh and I took some pics with my old circa 1960s Topcor 58 1.4 (its a bit radioactive so I am not supposed to lick it to clean it)

I love how it makes things watercolor like

Quick question for a7 series users. Have u ever had issues with the auto switch on the evf and the monitor. I find if it's very bright out and I fold out the monitor to do a down low shot looking in the monitor it will switch to evf often when I don't want it to. Not sure why it does this. Any one else have this issue. I find I have to put it in monitor only while I shoot down low. Thanx

Not with bright light per se, but I've had very erratic behaviour which usually turns out to be a single hair (from a brush for example) partly over the eyepiece , it's very sensitive, even part of a single hair gets detected

The whites of her eyes look a little blue in the first shot Carlo, otherwise stellar as usual.

Near the end of this 3 day holiday weekend, I paid my respects to my fallen comrades one last time.
