The Voigtlander 35/1.5 has 4 aspherical surfaces though. The 35/1.4 ZM is really amazing from wide open across the image field (on a M body), but it's a big 35mm lens. I'm not expecting the new Voigt to perform as well as the Zeiss.


Are we sure the Zeiss' 2 elements are single sided aspherics?
Zeiss themselves don't share much but I guess if they were double-sided aspheric they would make a big deal of it.

Who knows, double-sided aspherics might be the secret sauce. They could be relying on software correction of lateral CA like the new 28mm Ultron and hence no need for FCD100/FPL53/FPL55 glasses etc.
If there's anything I know from my foray into astronomy it's that flourite-like glass is really amazing for colour but very expensive.
