Pretty good so far in limited usage. Love the size. Just a little hard to get the lens on which seems to be the same with CV lenses these days. My 75 was like that before and then got better. Thanks for recommending it. Hope it will be a keeper.

Ok, good. Yeah, the size is great!
The chrome plating on the mount will eventually wear down if there are any high spots and new voigltander lenses are marginally tighter than the new Leica lenses I tried/own but they don't take long to settle in.
In defence of Voigtlander, my CV lenses leak less light from the mount during daytime long exposures than my Leica lenses. My Summicron-M 50mm V is the worst offender.
Still only using the 50mm that I started the middle of last month for a month. Really enjoying the lens and challenges with it that come up from the longer FL. It really makes me question do I need other lenses?
Could I just live with the 50 as I did when I shot film in the 70's and 80's as it was the only FL I had?

Plus the Voigtlanders have that recessed area where you can do your own 6-Bit Encoding and it will stay on. When I encode a Leica lens that doesn't have it, the ink always rubs off after a short time.
