Yeah ok I see. Yeah with tubes you still wouldn't be able to use that lens as a full 15mm lens then Might only be useful for its use as macro lens... Hmm... I'm not convinced about the tubes ! Have you seen the Metabones adapter link I sent (I picked the Canon version because I would be getting the Laowa with Canon EF mount) ? Why didn't that seem like a good solution to you ?

Yes I looked at the speedbooster. Metabones makes a .64 and a .71 and you need to carefully read the specs and limitations of each speedbooster. With the .71 speedbooster, it would make the lens roughly a 10.5mm (10.65 to be exact), which when adapted to m4/3's, it would have a FOV of roughly a 21mm FF equivalent. You should ask in the "adapted lens talk" forum about this combo. Someone may have done something similar.
