I don't want to clutter the thread with test images, but based on PMs and a couple of posts in the thread it seems like there are people who would be interested in seeing some. So, what I have done is post the C/Y photos here, then when there is CV version I have put a link to it.
Thanks for posting, Trondheim counryside looks like beautiful place to live, the wooden houses are much nicer than the concrete blocky buildings in cities. There were not much difference between lenses on these photos, but looking images in tabs and clicking between them I like in all samples the C/Y version better from rendering style point of view - comparison is very hard when there are small differences in light and composition.
I browsed your posts from last winter to fall 2015. That was painful; nice Norway countryside, Stockholm in summer and worst of all was Sardinia - while raining (water) in Finland, and almost no more snow left, and one never sees sun except from office window... I noticed two difference on images, which had stronger look;
1) better optimized black levels
2) microcontrast & how surface textures are rendered (might be relevant to RAW conversion settings or difference how you have resized image to webthumbnail)
Few links to old posts, which in my opinion had stronger rendering with 50 C/Y than CV 50 images in general: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
"only" 4 1/2 months and then the greens are back... Zeiss Loxia 2/50 FE @ f/5.6, 1/160s, ILCE-7 @ ISO 100

and there the Voigtlander has a big advantage with its flare resistance and sunstars. The big question is if it's worth it to sacrifice that for the slight general advantage of the Zeiss... I guess time will tell.
