How is the FBW implementation on the 45/2.8C or new 85/1.4?
45C FBW is excellent—and I speak as an owner of manual-focus glass across Leica M, R, Contax/Yashica, Canon FL, EF, Nikon F. I know you have similar experience.
I especially like the DMF implementation, which makes it MF on steroids, and makes for a perfect transition between the 45mm and the Loxias I own (imagine the experience would be similar with the Voigtländers).
You can half press and then adjust focus with magnification, and it magnifies the subject of focus, which if you use face-detection or eye-AF magnifies the detected face/eye. You can also track, recompose, auto-focus, and then manually adjust focus on the tracked subject.
I wish some of this was possible to use in MF so it'd work with the Loxias (face-detection to inform focus magnification should be possible even starting with slightly out of focus images).

I wish all this was possible to use with the MF Loxias.
