Yet. :-)
What little I have been able to find online indicates the 29mm is every bit as good as the 60 (even a tad better). Even wide open. I want the 25, but maybe the 29 is the better choice??

Well, that’s exactly what I was thinking last year: 1800EUR for a manual lens, with a weird focal length, all manual (29mm) where the only “nice” thing is the f/0.8 that probably is unusable. For this reason I bought a “cheaper one” (60mm). Now my copy not only is great at f/0.95 (sure, stopped down at f/1.4-2.0 gets really sharp), but I enjoy a lot the whole process of manual focusing. So sooner or later I’ll get the 29mm :P
I will definitely post here my impressions, but it looks like that lens didn’t sell well (it is almost impossible to find real user reviews).
Regarding 25mm vs 29mm Luckily I don’t plan to ever buy the voigtlander 25mm because I own the Olympus 25mm f/1.2 and it is my most favourite lens, and the lens I use for paid work (I don’t get too much of it, just from time to time because photography for me is not my main source of income, it’s a “probby” namely merge “professional” + “hobby” ).
Now the problem is to convince my wife we need a new lens (I own already too many of them: 6).
