Thank you for the test report and for reminding me of the existence of this legendary lens.
I own a copy of their 125mm f2.5 APO in F mount and it’s absolutely brilliant even by modern mirrorless standards.
Yes, Barnard, my first Voigtländer was the 125/2.5 APO, bought to replace my Micro-Nikkor 105/2.8 that I was never very happy with. The 125/2.5 is, as you say, absolutely brilliant, though it's value and fragility mean I don't travel with it. The 180/4 seems more robust (and smaller), so should be fine for taking on the road. I also own the 15/4.5 SL (mirror lockup) which can be found for not much money, and is VERY compact (and the Voigtländer optical finder is excellent).
