I can fit 3 lenses plus A7RIII in my PD 5L if the lenses are the right size. Below I have the CV 40 on the camera with the CV 21/3.5 and CV 10 on the sides. I would like to fit the CV 40, 24GM, and CV 10 in the 5L, but it's just too tight and is hard when switching lenses to get the right fit. It looks like the Cooper 8 may have a little more room. Sorry this is off topic but it is helpful!
Well, sure if you use tiny MF lenses. It's not ideal for 3 AF lenses. The Tenba seems like a better choice. Depends what else you want to carry with you as well.

I could fit: A7R3 + FE 24/1.4 GM + CV 40/1.2 + Loxia 85/2.4 in the PD5L. Very easy to switch lenses.
The Loxia seems thinner than the CV 75/1.5 but perhaps the later could be an alternative to the Loxia. I will check it out today.
I also use the Markins L-bracket to keep the A7R3 as small as possible.
So new metabones adapter is in I'm at Big Bronco. If I focus at 1.4 on center than corners are out. Now if I stop down to F2 I focus better and corners are really close. Part 3 if I focus at F2 on the corners either one checked them both than scroll to center it's in focus
My conclusion focus at F 2 than open up if you want 1.5. It just seems to nail it better . Now I'm good at MF so it's not me I don't think. But can I see some FC on Sony than I'd say yes. I'm about 75 ft to wall. This may change at infinity or closer up. Just a little odd but I do think this adapter is better . When I check my corners just focusing back and forth they are equal
All look good. Seems to have some exposure differences. Were these compared on manual settings or aperture priority or? Otherwise, only differences seem to reflect the inevitable positional distortion due to change of distance to subject (and you likely not wanting to stand on the cacti/rocks).
I was on A mode. I was not being very serious about it. Really was just getting back in my car after breakfast and reshooting Big Bronco. So yes slight exposure difference .
After some thought, I decided purchasing the CV 75/1.5 VM but will likely swap it for an E-mount version whenever released. It complements my CV 40/1.2 in contrast and color while having higher resolution. Rendering is also very pleasant.
It's a great portrait lens at f/1.5 when leaving the 85/1.4 GM at home, and at f/5.6, it's sharp from center to corner on the A7R3 sensor. This should improve further if Voigtlander optimizes it for the Sony.
To me, it has the perfect gap for my CV 21/1.4 and CV 40/1.2 Nokton lenses, so a nice low light 3-lens combo. Very happy with Voigtlander's line for the Sony.

Yea kind of wish I had the 40 but love the 50. This set of CV lenses is just killer. The Tenba 8 works nice with the 3 of them. I like the extra pockets and get the mini pod in it
I’ll almost certainly pick this up if an E-Mount version comes out, to complement my 21 and 40. Still pondering the 21/1.4 also, but I’ve been pretty happy with the 3.5, would hate to part with it, and probably would go crazy with indecision if I owned both.

Nah, the Fred Miranda Forum’s Law of Lens Acquisition states that you should always have at least two versions of each of your most frequently used focal lengths, differentiated by speed, focusing (AF/MF), rendering, or any other criterion you can manage to dream up.

Wasn't it three for 35mm and 50mm?
