Ok, here you go. Here is one I shot on my Leica M11 while practicing MF using this lens on moving subjects

I do have and enjoy this lens, but I will say I've struggled mightily to focus it well with the rangefinder. Need to practice with it more.

Yes, the focus breathing can be a bit tricky ... I know it gave me some issues for a while. Advice is to run some test shots to assess how much "mental adjustment" you have to make for one or two apertures (say, W.O. and f/2.8) as it compares to the calibration of your patch. Then you just "know" to "miss" by a smidge or two when shooting at certain apertures.
I really like how it renders, but have since gotten a different 75mm. That said, I do miss it at times. It might find its way back in my bag again, someday.

Like I do with all my lenses I spend time shooting not for images but for learning the lens. The image I posted above I sat on the wall along the boardwalk and just practiced different techniques for hitting focus as people walked by. In that scenario I used zone focus, refocus on a spot, and actual focusing as they moved. Various techniques provided better hit rates.
With this lens at wide apertures and close close to the subject I find that setting focus as best I can then leaning in and out slightly for fine adjustments works well.

Only days left until the release in Z-mount. Are your opinions and comments still valid? The photos looks great

I am also looking at this lens but I can’t find a lot of landscape pictures made by it. And that would be one of the main purposes for me. So if you have these, please share them here😊.

I don't often use this lens for landscapes because I have some zooms in this FL I take when shooting those. Here are a couple where I just happened to have it mounted when an opportunity presented itself. I think they show that it is a very good lens for that use case when I have tried it. Colors and rendering stopped down are very nice.

I had a look here:

I noticed that all landscape pictures are very soft and lack sharpness. I had this lens on my wish list, but now I have real doubts. For nearby it seems excellent but for landscape it is not when I look at these pictures.

Oh wow. 
FINALLY. I've been hoping for an E-mount 75mm Nokton since the day first people got to use the VM version. Now only if they would announce a native 24-28mm option, I would have all the Voigtländer glass I ever needed (currently using 24GM). This 75mm will be must-have for me. I really love how it looks and it will pair up great with my 40mm SE. I've been resisting all the VM versions since I hate to adapt without Exif data.

Has any of you guys tried Nokton 75/1.5 in Sony FE mount already?
