Few wide open images to keep this thread rolling...
I was shooting side by side with film (Fuji Provia 400X) hence the PP emulation to compare at later date
waiting for the zm35 on film.

RUIvan - really enjoyed your images with this lens!
Jack - you too!
I canceled my order for the time being and will wait on the revised CV35/1.7. Primary reason is to see how the CV will render OOF background areas relative to the ZM. If the CV remains true to CV character, it will probably be of more moderate contrast and overall rendering, which I can live with. I'm buoyed by Cosina's direction with the latest CV lenses, all of which seem to be better made and receiving consistently good reviews. But the ZM remains extremely tempting for more technical work, and suspect I will end up with it sooner or later.

Ron, there is a local, Vancouver based photog who evaluates Zeiss and Voigtlander lenses and based on his informal opinion of pre-production version of CV 35/1.7 it supposed to be indistinguishably close to Lux 35 FLE and even Zeiss 1/4/35.
Shooting with both Lux 50 asph and latest CV Nokton 50/1.5 I believe the CV may be very good. We'll see it soon.
For now...
