Fred's quick comparison looks promising. Is it typical for other VM lenses to have a narrower field of view? I think I remember that about the VM 35 1.4 as well.
The CV 40 2.8 is wider than 40mm. Closer to 35mm.
And no, no-one suggest to compare the 40 2.8 to this new 35 1.5, even if the 40 is closer to 35.

If you play attention closely, there is a very subtle click sound once the RF disengages. With my copy, it's around 0.65m.
One can only notice that in a silent environment. I wish Cosina would improve this in future lenses by adding more resistance and a clear distinction when focusing closer than 0.7m.

Nice comparison. For my taste the leica has a more 3D like look. But the bokeh on the CV is better. I am happy that I ordered the CV and not the Lux. For the extra money of the Leica I could buy something else like a used M10. I will do a comparison between the 1.2 and the 1.5 using my M11 … But still dont know when my 1.5 will be delivered.

With the triangle like defocused light points in the corners I think it is mostly Coma,
but astigmatism can play a role here, too. These two aberrations are generally hard to separate.
But in your picture with the scale on the left it sure looks like there is a noticable amount of astigmatism, too.
Especially on lenses with high vignetting I always found city lights to be a much bigger problem
in regards to Coma than stars though.
These lenses with 3-4 EV vignetting in the corners, stars in the corners are so dark, the coma doesn't really become that obvious.It's definitely SA. If we get the 35/1.2 III and stop it down to f/1.5, we'd have a very similar look. I think the glow is pretty in the sample images though.Maybe I am very mistaken, but this lens has a much more crisp feel--the SA is very minor, and much less than the 35/40/50 1.2 I've shot. And at all distances. Below are crops from a modded a7--I took a series at 1.5, f2 and 2.8. One with dark subjects, and one with brights that SA shows up on more in my experience a bit.
Then I included 3 actual photos, at different distances, all WO. You'll see there's very very minimal SA. Now that you have your review copy, I'll be curious to see what you think. If it is SA, I am confused why I see so little on axis, but the affect is very noticeable with OOF lights. What Bastian said makes sense more to me.It's not the same as shooting with the CV 35/1.2 III wide open which would yield even stronger SA. The spherical aberration is better corrected on the new f/1.5 lens but it depends heavily on distance. The closer the more SA.
I've tested it side by side to the Leica 35/1.4 FLE and the Voigtlander is noticeably softer at closer distance. All this is expected though.Yes, that's why I included different distances as I know that the distance can vary the SA, though from .7 to about 20 feet (and I assume infinite, I don't see any change) I am sure at absolute MFD I would see increased SA. I am curious to see your review and findings. And still curious about the affect!
Are you saying you tested the new 1.5, or the 35/1.2iii against the Lux FLE? I found the 35/1.2iii to have much more than this lens throughout the range.My observations are based on this thread's samples so far. I have not yet tested the lens on the M body.
I did compare the CV 35/1.5 to the Leica 35/1.4 FLE briefly on the Sony. The Leica is sharper wide open (away from center) and the Voigtlander has smoother rendering + narrower field of view.

A few more from today on my M8.
PS how good is the color out of the M8? I'm blown away. Was taking these photos to have samples from the camera when I went to sell it, but these are making me think twice...

Would be great to see ZM 35/1.4 being compared as well
I am sure at absolute MFD I would see increased SA. I am curious to see your review and findings. And still curious about the affect!
