Fast Voigtlander lenses have always been brutal when it comes to purple fringing. Looks like this lens is no exception. That coma is also terrible but for a daylight/lowlight type lens, it looks to be worth a try!
Well, even my 90/3.5 APO has moderate PF wide open. Though a couple of clicks in ACR and it's gone. My 85/1.8 Sony also has this in severe cases, which usually can be fixed.
BUT, if the PF is bad enough the software fix can do some damage to the IQ in extreme cases.
Flare and ghosting can really mess up an image if using it for landscape-like purposes (or if there are bright lights in the scene, say for a city night shot).
My experience with f/1.2 lenses are the 50/1.2 Nikkor and the 42.5/1.2 PL. The 50/1.2 was major character wide open while being pretty darned usable. Stopped down a bit it was also pretty darned sharp across the frame - I just could not accurately focus it on my darned DSLRs. The 42.5/1.2 PL is just a wonder of optical engineering as several times I've accidentally shot a landscape image wide open and could not see any issues unless looking at 100% on a 16MP sensor (admittedly not incredibly demanding, but still).
