Your photos, Juha, are fantastic as usual! Always nice seeing Tokyo.
At F6.3, it appears to be sharp across the entire frame, even on the Sony sensor. It's a strong performer for close-up shots and really displays great character. This is one of my favorite Voigtlander lenses because it's their own unique creation. Great complement to their 75/1.8 Heliar Classic.
Thanks very much, Fred! Yes, I think the lens can do double-duty as a great character lens and also as a decently sharp everything-in-focus lens even on Sony sensor when stopped down enough. On my original A7C I used f5.6 with this lens for inifinity shots but with A7CII I felt it might be a bit better to stop down a little more so I ended up with the half-stop between f5.6 and f8. I didn't do very careful comparisons between the different stopped-down apertures so far though.
I like this lens precisely for its dual capabilities and for its ability to focus to 0.5m, which is not very common with 50mm rangefinder lenses. It's also nice that I can use hard infinity with this lens on my Rayqual adapter. I often prefer using lenses that are spot-on at hard inifinity and not all of mine are.
I've never had the 75/1.8 so couldn't compare to that one. I've had the CV 75/2.5 LTM since the early days when I started adapting rangefinder lenses and more recently I had the 75/1.5 (traded away after getting 75/1.9) and now the 75/1.9. 75/1.8 always seemed to be a bit on the large side so that kept me from going for it.
