But I'm getting great accuracy with the right diopter when using the CV 75/1.5 and Leica 135/4.
Glasses have a prescription written for a distance of around 1m. Leica calculates their diopter's strength at two meters, so you only need half the strength or your current reading glasses and subtract the default "-0.5" built-in diopter from the final calculation.
It'd still be useful for the 135 (the frames are tiny), at least, I bet. My condolences on the delay or loss.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned mounting the 75/1.5 on a Z7 since this thread opened in August last year. (The 40/1.2 thread was/is epic, including plenty of Z7 posts...) Is this because of the sensor? I’m considering this glass to fill the gap between my VM 40/1.2 and CV 125/2.5 F-mount. A while back I had a Nikon 85/1.4D filling this position. Any thoughts? Speculation is welcome; I’m likely going to order one no matter what anyone says, so feel free to speak your mind. Will adapt to the Z7 with Novoflex.
I wrote yesterday an email to voigtländer-germany and wrote about the interest to get an E-mount-version of the Nokton 75 1.5. (to get the EXIF-data an optic that fits the sensor and the proper 5-axis-IBIS is so nice!)
I thought if some more photographers from diffrent countries write to their Voigtländer importers - maybee the Voigtländer Marketing in Japan decides to change their minds and offer an E-mount-version.
Would you participate?

I have a Z7 and the Voigtlander 75 f/1.5 and the the combo works very well together. I the performance I would say is quite similar to the review of the lens on Sony at phillipreeve.com. It is a lovely lens and I especially like it for portraits. Wide open performance could be a little sharper away from the centre, but stopped down to even f/2 I find that to be very good. The bokeh is quite nice but I wouldn't be surprised if you preferred the bokeh on the Nikon 85 f/1.4D, which is a top bokeh performer, IMO. Still I think you will like the lens on the Z7. Good luck and report back what you think as well.
Thank you, Steve. Good to hear your thoughts on the lens + Z7. I did enjoy the older 85’s bokeh; at the same time, I’m really just looking for all-around performance at what seems to be a nice price point. And 75 seems to me to fit perfectly into my trio. Will try to land one by summer.
Thanks, I've read that article but could not find a way to choose ISO 100 for auto-ISO. I guess it's not possible.
Something else that's bothering me. With the M240 one could set a 2sec. self-timer on the top dial and choose a bracketing sequence.
With the M10, you can either choose self-timer or bracketing but not both!
I tried using the fotos app to trigger the camera for a bracketing sequence but once you choose "remote" on the app, it changes drive mode to single shooting from bracketing!
The only way around this would be to get a wired analog shutter trigger...unless I'm missing something.

A quick manual twist of the ISO dial to 100 ISO is the only way I know. Auto ISO 100 is no longer an option.
"With the M10, you can either choose self-timer or bracketing but not both!"
Leica M10 menus are basic/simple and straight forward. If you don't see it, probably not there. Not part of my workflow, but I don't see any way on the m10 to set self-timer and set bracketing criteria simultaneously. Maybe someone else knows otherwise?
Will adapt to the Z7 with Novoflex.
