The LLL people are really decent regarding responsiveness to inquiries. As I said above on p13, I asked them for some information regarding focus breathing, because this and similar lenses are good candidates for high end content creation / indie / sole operators - to my mind at least.
background: We can expect a fair degree of focus breathing in highly specified 35mm 'stills only' lenses - the focal length seems to be problematic, as witnessed in Sony's GM 35/1.4 (details by inksandpaper here: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1695782/35).
This review below also takes a solid look early on at the extent of focus breathing in the 35/2 APO-Lanthar, and issues a passing comment on the Leica APO-Summicron-M having the same issue (very hard to find on the web on this M lens):
YT Title: 'Voigtlander 35mm f/2 APO Lanthar for Nikon Z - what do we think?' (at 2:25)

Cameralabs reports 11% magnification for the APO-Lanthar, another data observation.
LLL kindly sent me a short near focus (but informative) rack focus, but it saves at 16mb. It came across email fine so if anyone shares my interest on this issue, pls PM me and I'll try to pass it on. In summary, it appears similar to the other two 35mm APOs mentioned above.
