Thank you Ronny! We're driving across the border to Sweden tomorrow to sign the contract and we will get the keys on Nov. 1. Can't wait!

Helena, how does the CV 21 perform on your A7ii? I'm interested in issues such as vignetting, color shifts, corner smearing etc.
Thanks,
Rob
Hi Rob, these are my impressions after a few days with it (may change over time):
-Very good sharpness in the center areas at all apertures.
-It has some field curvature, but less than the 35mm I think, or at least not worse.
-Corners get decently sharp at f/8 when I focus with the field curvature in mind.
-I haven't seen any smearing at all.
-In a few photos I have noticed a slight vignetting and hint of purple in the corners even at f/8, but it was easy to correct. Most of the time I don't notice it. It's much less than the CV 15mm VM for example and less than the 35mm too, I think.
The Loxia 21 is probably even better, but would have cost me almost twice as much and now when I have gotten to know the CV I have no regrets. I would have preferred the CV 21/4 for the lower price and weight, but the samples I found scared me off.
