Interesting. The 65mm (#3) sunburst shot really stands out - wonder why it's so much more vibrant than the similar Loxia 50 (#2) and 85mm (#4) images?
I'm not interested in a 65mm lens, but that CV 65mm looks like a winner to me (Philip Reeve's shots with the lens are really wonderful).
The CV 65 shot was at a particularly good moment when the sun appeared between the clouds fully. Of course, it could be my processing too as I did these all pretty quickly and do not mean for this to be a true comparison with any scientific rigor to it. The more I use it, the more I like the Voigtlander 65 tho. It does not seem to have many weaknesses.
Edit--I matched the color temp and most other stuff with the Loxia 85. The CV shot (#3) was at the sweet spot of this particular sunset.

I changed the original post to have the Loxia 85 shot match the color temp of the CV shot and also the same clarity and vibrance in post. Should be closer now. However, CV shot better probably due to better light tho I have hundreds of pics and just processed a few and will do more looking. I struggle with color temp at sunset when the light is constantly changing and good guides for how to set the color temp are absent.
