I took the CV 2.5/75 out in the blazing sun just to remind myself.
As I recalled, it does flare in the form of overall contrast drop with the sun outside the frame: but it is pretty easily prevented with a hand or card or something.
Sun in the frame though and it does quite well when there's a starburst. Here's a dull test to show the starburst against dark backlit branches. The contrast drop is not too bad. (f8)
There's quite a lot of LOCA wide open and at F2.8, and some purple fringing. The latter can be effectively dealt with in LR.

Thanks for this test, David. Much appreciated. That sunstars looks good (as one would expect given the 10 blades). I don't mind some LOCA wide open, but with me shooting plenty of sunrises and sunsets (with the sun not always centered), I7m slightly weary of a drop in contrast. I'll probably check out a sample, when I get to a used camera store the next time.

For landscapes the ZM 85/4 is unbeatable, and it has 10 blades.
The 100/3.5 is also amazing.
Thanks for the reminder, Fred. I have the Elmarit 90 2.8, which I love and keep using at least for landscape shots, despite having the Batis 85. I know 75 and 90 are kinda close, but for me they are different enough to justify having one lens at each FL. I regret selling my Summarit 75. I might have to get another one at some point.
