Jthe CV 90 is very very even across the frame (center, borders, and far far corners) and sharpness is very very good at f/3.5 and improves just a little at higher apertures.
The 90 did want to underexpose by about 0.75 of a stop compared to the 105, but it could just be the Nikon metering system at play and my subject matter.
This lens is now discontinued, so if you want a super small and light 100-ish prime try to find one of these for a good price.
Hopefully CV will come out with a replacement with a focal length around 100mm and a bit faster than f/3.5 . . .
They wanted too much money for the lens, though it was in new condition, but was lacking the close-up filter, box, shade(?), etc.

Yes, Cosina is currently making all Zeiss ZF/ZE lens and most of ZM.
I recall when the prices seemed to go sky high. I think it was due to PhotoZone testing a copy and finding that it was exceptional for the price. Don\'t Cosina now make some Zeiss lenses, Zeiss optical design with Japanese manufacturing?
