I recently got the Voigtlander 75mm f/1.8 Heliar Classic lens. I've always liked how this lens renders, and I'm going to compare it to the CV 75mm f/1.9 Ultron lens.

Looking forward to the comparison. I had the Heliar about 10 years ago and thought it had very pleasing rendering at nearer distances, like for portraits. But I didn't feel the same at farther distances. IIRC, it's also a fairly large and heavy lens compared to the new 75/1.9.

If someone has both the Voigtlander 75/1.9 Ultron and the MS Optics 73/1.5 lenses, they can create a strong macro lens combination. The Ultron can be connected directly to the Sonnetar without the need for an adapter. It doesn't have to be specifically the Ultron; any lens with a 49mm thread will work.

Yukosteel and I are thinking about swapping the finishes on our camera lenses. I'm going for the multi-coated shiny black paint on mine, and he's opting for the single-coated matte finish on his. I willl post more details and possibly a new article on this topic in the near future!

Update: It did work, but not completely. We couldn't switch out all the parts, but my MC version will have a glossy black paint appearance on most of the barrel. It's definitely a unique piece.
Yuri got the SC version with flat paint.
