To each his own but the CV is far from a low contrast lens and I bet that few people would be able to pick it out against a Loxia 50 if they have a dozen or so images. Even less so if images are processed.
You're probably right, Phillip.
I also think the Voigtländer is an excellent lens. The photographers, who have reported so far, are reliable in my opinion.
But, it is the normal case that most people aren't able to separate the images of two different lenses (maybe of two different 50mm lenses).
Is it not the peculiarity of such forums to discuss nuances? Why not in this case?
This is exactly the reason why I buy Zeiss lenses. I like to think that I can see the differences.
For example: I love the blue and red tones of the Batis lenses and prefer the cool rendering to the warmer rendering of the Loxia lenses (my personal opinion).
However, I prefer the sharpness of the Loxia lenses at smaller apertures.
And I love the contrast of all Batis and Loxia lenses.
My Loxia 50mm is bad at open aperture, but superb stopped down.
The Voigtländer is certainly much more constant and better for most cases.
But, the Loxia is smaller, lighter and shows more contrast. Why not mention it?
