We think it’s fine on a stock, but many FM’ers are far pickier than us I thought the 35/1.7 was fine too, just takes more care.

If 35mm and 50mm would be fine, do you think 40mm should be too?
It depends on what you think fine is. All these lenses, including the CV 35/1.7 will show much higher field curvature on Sony sensors. There will be some induced astigmatism as well.
Many shooters find it usable but the thicker sensor stack also affects rendering where depending on subject distance, out of focus areas towards the corners appear sharper and distracting.

There are a few discussions of the VM vs. VE versions in the CV40 thread and even some comparisons:
There are a few other VM/VE comparisons from a few years back and some discussion. I found one helpful comparison that Fred posted from another user's images:
A few comments from people using the old TAP with the CV40 and really liking the results and usability. I think I will give it a try, I'm just deciding whether to try the 50/1.2 first since I have the Sony 35GM. I really like the CV40 though.
Yes, well, I going through 40mm 1.2 thread again (I've read all pages before I bought E mount) and I don't really see that issues everyone is mentioning/complaining about.
Maybe its because I'm not professional photographer, I do not look (or care) about corners. I dont see those curvature issues - when I look at the photos from vm40 I see nice photos, same as on my E mount.
I know that TAP will add weight and length to the whole kit, bringing it closer to E mount version, but still its smaller and adds autofocus, so for me it is a win situation.
Right now my A7II and 40mm 1.2 E is big and heavy for me. That is why I'm investing (read: flushing down the toilet) more money and selling it all to buy A7C + new TAP + VM40. Result should be a nice little setup for travelling. That is the plan just now
