Thanks, I'm glad you like them
Was looking for the G 28mm some time ago when I was searching for a comapct 28mm. Realised that although the rendering is as zeissy as zeiss gets (which I like), the corner smearing was pretty drastic. The front-filter solution probaly fixes this, but how about handling? Remember reading some users complaining about the adaptor-focus not being very intuitive.
It's not intuitive, but if you have a crappy copy of an adapter the focusing can be pretty rough. The wider the lens, the less of an issue it is - the adapter focusing is a lot less of an issue for the 28mm than it is with the 90mm. If you use a cheap adapter, the key is to keep the adapter mated to the lens. That seems to help a lot. With a nicer adapter like the Ulata or Metabones, you can use a single adapter for multiple lenses.
I've not seen anything from a G 28 with the front filter on APS-C, but I expect that it would take care of the problem. I used one on my NEX without a filter and was happy with the results. You can see the field curvature in some scenarios, but generally it didn't bother me. Considering how much the front filter improves things on FF, I expect it would take care of the problem on APS-C.
Do you use a front filter with the Voigtlander 28mm f/2? They're very similar in terms of field curvature and smearing. If the CV 28/2 doesn't bother you in this regard, I don't think the G 28 would. It's good enough for me at f/5.6 on APS-C across the frame for more landscapey scenes, and f/8 is even better.
